Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the "saffron crocus".
Saffron can help with mood swings, morning sickness, and muscle cramps during pregnancy. Additionally, original Kashmiri saffron can assist in regulating high blood pressure.
Saffron milk is a delightful concoction infused with saffron's rich aroma and flavor. It's created by steeping saffron threads in milk and can be enhanced with ingredients like cardamom or almonds.
This spice is best for adding to rice, kheer, desserts, and buttermilk.
Saffron is very expensive because it takes 75,000 saffron flowers to make just one pound of saffron spice.
