25.01.2022 Too green to be true! This is one of the most common things we hear people say when they see #SaffronAndMore’s #PistachioPaste and its otherworldly bright green colour. But believe us, it’s 100% real and natural! No artificial food colour and definitely no photoshop involved! So how did our Pistachio Paste get such a vibrant green colour? The secret is in the nuts we use. We use raw baby pistachios that are hand picked before the actual harvest time. These baby pistachios, which are only cultivated in Iran and Italy, are naturally bright green. They also have a high oil content so our Pistachio Butter comes out smooth and velvety. It’s just one of the ways we show our passion for bringing the best flavours of Iran to your home! Try it yourself https://saffronandmore.com.au/range/pistachio-paste/

24.01.2022 FunFact Alert: Here’s stating the nutty obvious -- the world loves pistachios! In many cultures, pistachios are a part of many rituals and celebrations. Here’s something interesting -- in Korea, during the celebration of the Full Moon Day or "Daeboreum" friends and families gather together to eat pistachios. The Koreans believe that the sounds made by cracking pistachios drive evil spirits away! Evil spirits or not, the sound of cracking pistachios is always music to our ears and people’s love for pistachios has led to the creation of other pistachio specialties such as our premium pistachio paste.

But #didyouknow that the pistachio craze was already a global phenomenon since hundreds of years ago? Here’s a great example: In ancient Rome, a cookbook that was compiled in the 1st century A.D. -- yep, that old! -- called Apicius and is likened to Julia Child’s bestselling book Mastering the Art of French Cooking, features recipes with pistachios as an ingredient!

16.01.2022 Fun Fact Alert -- Almost all of us grew up loving candies. But did you know that in Iran, a particular type of candy isn’t only enjoyed as a sweet treat or used as a beverage sweetener but also plays an important role in traditional Persian medicine as well? #RockCandy a.k.a. Nabat, is said to have a hot nature and is used to balance out cold temperaments (aka Mizaj) such as sadness, disturbing thoughts, stomachaches, dizziness, low blood sugar. This practice of Iranian traditional humourism still continues today while the rock candy has evolved into different delicious forms such as the #SaffronRockCandy from #SaffronAndMore https://saffronandmore.com.au/range/saffron-rock-candy/

The fish is slathered in a mixture of oil and lime juice and rubbed with sea salt, black pepper and #Saffron. The filling is a mouthwatering combination of herbs and seasonings, raisins and flavourful Persian ingredients #pistachios, #saffron and #walnuts. Baked in the oven to flaky perfection, it’s best served with a garnish of red barberries and partnered with #saffronrice. You can get all your Persian ingredients from #SaffronAndMore.

04.01.2022 How do you take your coffee? With sugar? With cream? How about with HISTORY? Walk along the heritage-rich Bob-Homayoun Street and it’s hard to miss Cafe Loghanteh, one of the oldest cafes in Tehran. It is said to have been built by a group of students in 1285 upon their return from Paris and having visited a cafe of the same name. Stepping inside, you’re flooded with the nostalgia of old Tehran, with traditional interiors featuring age-old brick walls, intricate alcoves and... stunning masonry work. The cafe is laden with antique items from the glorious chandeliers hanging from its ceilings, trinkets displayed inside glass cabinets and paintings from different eras and artists. One of the most interesting pieces is an antique piano, said to have been the property of Iran’s longest-serving Prime Minister, Amir Abbas Hoveida. On some nights, beautiful music is played here which adds to the multi-sensory experience of everyone who goes here. More than the coffee and the traditional Persian fare (which are must-tries!), it’s the history and culture reverberating from all corners of Cafe Loghanteh that makes it a must-see, whether you love coffee or not.

03.01.2022 When talking about the rich culture of #Iran we can rave nonstop about the food , the art , the scenery , the history and so on. But at the heart of everything are the people and their warm albeit not much talked about hospitality. There’s an old Iranian saying, Mehmoon habib-e-Khoda ast, which translates to A guest is a blessing by God. In a land where the kettle never rests, expect to be invited to enjoy good tea, be served delicious food and be greeted with... ear-to-ear smiles . In the words of LonelyPlanet.com, In any competition for the title of the world's friendliest people, Iranians would be definite finalists.

03.01.2022 No need for Extra Oil -- Did you know that many #pistachiopastes in the market use lecithin oil as an emulsifier? This is to make the finished product smooth and runny enough so you don’t get that unpleasant feeling of something sticking to the roof of your mouth like what happens when you eat a super chunky peanut butter. We do things quite differently at #saffronandmore. Our pistachio paste contains zero lecithin or other additives. We use 100% pure raw Persian pistachios with naturally high oil content. The result? A velvety smooth paste with the perfect consistency without the need for extra oil! Just goes to show how much thought and love goes into every Saffron & More product from harvest to your kitchen. Try our pistachio paste and taste the difference yourself! https://saffronandmore.com.au/range/pistachio-paste/
