With the aroma and flavor profile of Rumi Spice saffron, you only need 8-12 threads when cooking rice or risotto for two. The amount of saffron varies by recipe, but a healthy pinch of saffron is a solid benchmark.
Add warm (not boiling) water to the saffron threads in a small dish. A few tablespoons of water is enough. You should see a golden hue begin to emerge in the water. Let the threads soak in water for 5-10 minutes, ideally up to 20 minutes.
After the saffron is finished steeping, you may add the saffron and liquid to whatever you're cooking, such as risotto, paella, or soup. If making a dish or sauce requiring wine, infuse the saffron directly in wine. The compounds are drawn out even further, and the flavor profile is more pronounced.
Another way to bring out the full flavor profile of saffron is to crush the threads with a mortar and pestle to a powder-like consistency. We suggest this for non-liquid recipes or baking, like when making saffron cookies or cake.

Always buy your saffron from here!!!
I have purchased so much fake and low grade saffron over the years and am SO GLAD to have finally found a great supplier of actual top quality saffron. So many people act like they have good saffron, but it is just as **** as the cheapest stuff on Amazon. Glad Rumi exists so I can finally have good saffron!
was unsure of their product, and after a short debate, they sent me a sample. it turns out to be very high quality saffron.
Awesome Company. Received my saffron before the date it was promised. Its a whole lot more than I expected for the price. Definitely will purchase from them again. It would make great gifts.
As for someone who just discovered the power of saffron, from something I used to use infrequently, knowing how much I deserve to take care of myself, I've now made it a part of my regular routine.
