What is saffron pistil?

What is saffron ? It is simply the pistil of the Crocus Sativus. It is a flower that will contain three stigmas. It is the stigmas that will give saffron (safranum). Saffron is a rare and the most expensive spice in the world. Saffron will be different from other spices by its tannic taste, its yellow color which will give to its dishes.

Why is Saffron the most expensive spice in the world ?

Why is saffron so expensive? First of all, it's a spice like vanilla pod that needs a lot of labor. You have to pick each flower by hand and almost the same day.

Then all the pistils are removed by hand.

The whole process from its harvest to its preparation will require a lot of human labor so that's why it is so expensive.

The history of Saffron

Saffron is the pistil or stigma of crocus sativus, it is the dearest spice in the world, the spice that is worth more than gold. The word saffron comes from the Persian za'faran which means "yellow".

The oldest record of saffron in a book is in a bible, in hymnal of hymnals 4-13 and they will boast of its fragrance and taste.

The first cultivation of saffron was in Crete in less than 2000 years before our era.

Saffron and its flower is a symbol of purity for the Assyrians who will have it harvested only by young virgin girls. It is then the Phoenician traders who will market saffron in the world.

Since time immemorial, the use of saffron has been varied: perfume, remedy, herb and dye.

In books from the library of UFMG in the faculty of medicine, we discovered that Hippocrates used saffron as a stimulant, digestive or antispasmodic.

An Egyptian papyrus dating from 1550 BC, states the health properties of saffron. Physicians such as Hippocrates, Homer, Virgil already knew the stimulating, digestive and antispasmodic virtues of saffron.

Today the European Union develops the cultivation of saffron against the cultivation of poppy (for opium), here is a policy of sustainable development.

To conclude, you have to be careful on Reunion Island, when you hear saffron, we are actually talking about turmeric.

USING SAFFRON IN THE KITCHEN

To use saffron in the kitchen it is very simple, the technique of using saffron: heat a little water, about 10cl and you will infuse 2 pistils per person for at least 3 hours or even a day for purists.

But you can also infuse your saffron in tajines, paella, bouillabaisse, soups and vegetables.

You can especially use saffron in fish as well as in desserts. Iran is the main producer and exporter of saffron.

There it is used in savory cooking. In Switzerland it is in brioches.

But it is mainly used in rice or to flavor cheese in many countries.

The Saffron Harvest

Saffron is the star of haute cuisine. It is a spice that grows on land that will be clay-limestone and very crumbly. This soil will be well drained and especially exposed to the Sun. Because this flower loves the burning heat of the Sun.

The Saffron harvest will take place in November and here it is a tide of workers who come to harvest the precious flower delicately.

It will take on average 140,000 flowers to our knowledge to make 1 kilo of neguine saffron.

How to properly store your neguine saffron

Saffron is a very valuable and expensive spice that must be stored properly to preserve its flavor and color. Here are some tips for storing Chef Arnaud d'Apogée's saffron bar:

Buy saffron in small quantities to avoid storing it for a long time

Store the saffron in a dry place away from light. Use an airtight container to minimize exposure to air and moisture

Keep the saffron at room temperature. Avoid storing it in a place that is too hot or too cold, as this can affect its flavor and color
Use aluminum foil to wrap your glass jar if there is no UV filter on the jar
avoid storing saffron with spices with strong notes
Always have a jar with seals that do not let air through.
With the following methods you will be able to keep the saffron between 12 and 18 months. It is important to note as with vanilla, saffron slowly loses its aroma if it is poorly preserved and even sometimes its color.

Recognizing real from fake saffron

We must immediately abandon powdered saffron. Because it is rarely pure and also saffron loses a lot of flavor and taste. You should know that some unscrupulous seller put paprika in powdered saffron.

So always buy a saffron in pistil.

To buy a good saffron, you have to know how to recognize the real one, from the fake saffron pistil. The color of the true pistil is blood red, not whitish or yellow. Both are very bad tasting.

How to buy a good Saffron from Iran - The best selling Saffron online store

At first, we will feel it. The saffron must have the characteristic smell, that is to say a slightly honeyed flavor with a ferrous taste in second place.

Then you look at it, you must have blood red pistils. No yellowish or orange branching. The saffron pistils should have an intense red.

The saffron must be free of pollen, it must not have fog in the container, because that would say that the saffron is too wet and risks mold.
