Saffron is a colorful and very tasty gourmet spice, a mainstay of many Mediterranean diets. The name saffron comes from the Arabic zafaran (yellow) - a sacred color in many traditions. Saffron was chosen by Buddhist monks for their robes. The ancient Greeks also colored their sacred robes with golden saffron. Saffron is a unique, versatile spice, traditionally used with stews, fish, seafood, sweets and pastries. It is also a very strong spice, a little going a long way. Saffron is an ancient favorite in Central Asian and Northern Indian rice, meat and dessert dishes. Safrron mixes well with cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom, cloves, star anise, peppermint, nutmeg or mace.
