Ellora Premium Saffron 1g - Cat I
Description
Aroma: Intense, Floral & Earthy with a Honey-like Sweetness
Flavour: Bold, Bittersweet & Fragrant with a Metallic Undertone
Ellora Saffron is a premium-grade "Kesar," consisting of deep crimson threads that are hand-harvested from the finest Crocus sativus flowers. This 1gm pack offers the highest potency of colour and aroma, as each strand is meticulously dried to preserve the essential volatile oils. Known as "Red Gold," this saffron is free from any yellow styles, ensuring you receive only the pure, concentrated pigment and flavour that defines luxury in both culinary and medicinal use.
-
The Secret Infusion: To achieve the most vibrant golden hue, never add saffron threads directly to a boiling pot. Instead, lightly crush a pinch of threads and soak them in two tablespoons of warm milk or water for at least 15–20 minutes. Adding this liquid gold towards the end of the cooking process ensures the delicate floral aroma remains intact and permeates the entire dish.
-
Culinary Versatility: A quintessential ingredient for royal Biryanis, fragrant Pilau, and decadent desserts like Kheer, Shrikhand, or Rasmalai. Beyond Indian cuisine, it is indispensable for a traditional Spanish Paella or a French Bouillabaisse. This 1gm size is perfect for home cooks who want to elevate special occasion meals with an authentic, restaurant-grade finish.
-
Nutritional Benefits: Celebrated in Ayurveda for its "Sattvic" properties, saffron is a powerful antioxidant known to boost mood and support skin health. It is traditionally consumed in warm milk at night to promote restful sleep or as a refreshing tea to soothe the body and mind during stressful periods.
-
Storage & Care: Saffron is highly sensitive to light and moisture. To prevent the threads from losing their potency, keep the glass vial in a cool, dark, and dry cupboard. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use; if exposed to air for too long, the threads can become brittle and lose their characteristic "hay-like" fragrance.
