25.01.2022 How much saffron is safe to take per day? As a dietary supplement, people can safely take up to 1.5 grams of saffron per day. However, only 30 mg (20-30 threads) of saffron per day has been shown to be enough to gain its health benefits. #saffron #saffronmarket

19.01.2022 The factors which are very important in saffron are crocin (colour), picrocrocin (flavour) and safranal (aroma). Higher amount of these compounds in saffron provide higher quality of saffron. #saffron #flavour #arouma #saffronmarket #zafferano

06.01.2022 Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus. Each flower produces only three threads (stigmas) of saffron, and it blooms for only one week each year. The saffron must be harvested only by hand in the mid-morning when the flowers are still closed in order to protect the delicate stigmas inside. It takes about 170 flowers to produce just one gram of saffron.

04.01.2022 How to make saffron tea? First, crush a small amount "a little pinch (10-15 threads per cup)" in the pestle and mortar. Then pour hot not boiling water over in a cup. Let it brew for at least 10 min. Adding milk or sugar is optional.... Another way is cold infusion overnight in the fridge which makes it a really nice drink in the morning. Hopefully, this helps you to brew better saffron tea.

02.01.2022 Saffron is one of the few things that truly is worth its weight in gold. This product of the crocus flower adds not only pleasant flavor to foods but also a beautiful golden color. It is native to Asia Minor, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years to be used in medicines, perfumes, dyes, and as a wonderful flavoring for foods and beverages. #saffron #saffronmarket

02.01.2022 St. Lucia's Day one of the biggest celebrations during Christmas time in Sweden. It is said that this celebration comes from stories that were told by the Monks who introduced Christianity to Sweden. St Lucia was a young Christian girl who is thought to have consorted with the devil ; who was martyred and killed for her faith, in 304 and it is said that on this day they celebrate the coming of lighter days. The name Lucia, is apparently associated with the Latin word lux ( ...meaning ‘light’) and the word Lucifer ( meaning ‘Satan’). However today, Lucia has become more of a cultural celebration across Sweden and is a tradition that continues and embraced by many. St lucias day falls on December 13th and this day is also known as the Festival of Light and this is a day of celebration in Sweden , just as important as midsummer. Young girls are dressed in white robes with a red sash where one girl is selected to be Lucia and she wears a crown of lit candles and the others carrying a single candle light. Lucia is seen as an ancient mythical figure who is seen as a bearer of light in the dark winters days. Most people buy or bake a saffron bun called 'Lussekatts' on at Lucias day ! These buns flavored with saffron and dotted with raisins and are lightly sweet and buttery with a vibrant yellow colour from the saffron-infused dough. #lussekatts #christmas
