The main thing to note here is that the government is using two different ways to define a saffron-containing product. I will explain them and also present some arguments that you should not be using. So let’s get started: Saffron is a narcotic. It’s illegal in most countries. The reason for this is simple: it […]
Well, not exactly. But that doesn’t mean you need to use it. Turmeric, a native of South Asia, is said to have healing properties to skin and has been used as a traditional medicine in India for hundreds of years. It’s also been widely available since the 1700s, but there are certain issues with it. […]
Yes, we can! Here are more reasons to drink saffron milk… In April, President-elect Donald Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch for the vacant Supreme Court seat of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. As a lawyer who specialized in tax law, Gorsuch is a natural fit for the Court, but he has no prior experience working on the highest […]
The price of saffron depends greatly on the area it is grown. Some areas grow saffron in the Himalaya. Most often, its prices are about double the average cost for most other herbs. How much does saffron cost in India? Saffron prices in India are comparable to those in the states of the U.S. It […]
If you’re using plain yogurt or fresh lemon juice for a salad or fruit, instead of adding saffron extract, just use a few drops of oil such as olive oil, tahini, olive vinegar or lemon juice in a pinch. You can also use a little bit of olive oil and vinegar, or even a little […]

Saffron flowers grow in the tropics. There are about 50 species that are cultivated in the world, and they are spread by wind and insects. Saffron can also be sourced from other sources, but there is a risk of cross-contamination, as the different species may be different colour and contain different chemicals. Are saffron flowers […]
In my opinion, yes. Saffron is the same way as gold: it is cheap, but it doesn’t go to waste. But why? The reason is simple: the word ‘saffron’ is an Arabic word. The word has become much more popular in the West and it has become a way to express the exoticness of the […]
When saffron yellow is used (as the white) it is the colour of a saffron plant. The yellow colour comes from the oxygen released during growth or decomposition of the saffron flower. Is “chocolate tan” or “cinnamon yellow”? Chocolate tan is when the tans, both dark and light, are equally distributed over all the colours […]
We don’t really use a calculator to do this. Just look at the light output before and after the saffron addition. The more bulbs that are added the stronger the light intensity. You can also do this when you add the bulbs of a large, compact system. Then you’ll have strong, powerful lighting. Another thing […]
