How to Make Delicious Saffron Recipes?

The flavor of saffron can be described as flowery and sweet. It has an earthy flavor, and it is rich and subtle.

Your next meal deserves a dash of luxury (saffron is the most costly spice in the world) and a splash of color that's a rich and deep burgundy. 

The saffron's flowery flavor works nicely in various dishes, including sweet buns, stews, risottos, and curries. Let's look at how we can make delicious recipes with saffron.
