Saffron Spice For Kidney and Liver Disorders
Saffron Spice
Undoubtedly the most precious spice in the world, it takes around 4300 of the breathtakingly beautiful royal purple flowers of the crocus plant to produce a single ounce of saffron. The golden spice comes is obtained from the thread-like stigmas, exactly three of which are present in every flower. It is so fabulously expensive that a hundred dollars would buy less than an ounce of good quality saffron. Fortunately, due to its intense flavoring and coloring power, a tiny pinch would suffice in any recipe – bringing it within the reach of the ordinary housewife wanting to create that special delicacy that utilizes saffron’s exquisite flavor and color.
