Glossary Asian food and cooking / Term
Made from the dried thread-like stigmas of the saffron crocus, this costly spice adds a vivid yellow color and subtle flavor to food. It is available as bright orange threads or ground into powder. Saffron threads are usually soaked in a little warm water before use, then squeezed out to release the color into the water. The threads and liquid are then both added to dish to give the characteristic saffron coloring.
