Tips & Usage

With the aroma and rich flavor profile of Rumi Spice saffron, you only need a small pinch to infuse your favorite dishes with a bold world of flavor. For liquid recipes, steep the saffron in a few tablespoons of warm (not boiling) water. Let the threads soak for about 15 minutes and watch a golden hue begin to emerge. After the saffron is finished steeping, add it to the liquid in your favorite dishes like saffron rice, paella, saffron tea, or even saffron ice cream.

Another way to bring out the full flavor profile of saffron is to crush the threads using a mortar and pestle to a powder-like consistency. We suggest this for non-liquid recipes or baking, like when making saffron bread or cookies.

Easy Saffron Rice

This delicious and easy saffron rice recipe is perfect if you're new to cooking with saffron. This saffron rice recipe highlights the savory yet subtle flavor of saffron. If you want to learn how to make saffron rice, our version combines saffron with basmati rice and chicken stock, but you can use any type of rice. Vegetable stock or bouillon can also be used for a vegetarian version.

The best spice in the world, from the best place.

I love it for so many of our New Mexico dishes, as well as Spanish ones.

My favorite saffron

I’ve been purchasing saffron threads for years, expensive and not-so expensive (possibly… nah, most *definitely* some safflower in that cheap category). Rumi spice hits that sweet spot of quality ingredients at a very fair price, and I also enjoy the transparency of their business practices. I will continue to be a repeat customer, and its probably time I branch out into some more offerings.

Excellent Saffron

We have loved the saffron threads. The color and the bouquet are definitely superior to the standard “little box” that we use when we don’t have the Rumi spice

Good products and a better business model

Products are excellent, and it’s nice to have another saffron to use. Beautiful packaging, as well. But the business idea is terrific: supporting farmers in Afghanistan by buying an outstanding product.
