Saffron

1 gm tin of 100% pure, premium grade Spanish saffron. Add to your water offering bowls, or use to color and scent rice for mandala offerings. Very fresh and fragrant. When made into a concentrate, it will last for days in the refrigerator, or sprinkle one or two threads into each water offering bowl. Saffron is made from the dried stigmas of the flower species crocus. Each flower of the crocus sativus has only three pistils, and these must be picked by hand.  Spanish saffron is well-known in Europe and America for its romantic aroma, lovely flavor, and coloring capabilities. saffron is used as a spice, yellow food coloring, and flavoring agent. The saffron threads come in beautiful packaging. Spanish saffron generally does not come in all red threads; you should expect to see some yellow with your saffron.
