• Storage and Use
  The most common way of using saffron in Iran is brewing. To brew saffron, it is first grinded in a mortar for better and quicker release of its taste and color. After cutting or grinding, it is poured in a small amount of hot water and left for 10-15 minutes in order for the substance to give its taste and color to the water. The other method is using ice, where it is better to pour saffron in a container after grinding and put proportionate pieces of ice. Then the ice must be melted at the room temperature in order to extract the essence of saffron.Saffron must be kept away from light and moisture in a closed container, especially before and after grinding, because its aromatic substance may evaporate and improper storage gradually reduces its medicinal effects as well as its taste and quality.
