Powder

Powder of Saffron is a distinct kitchen form used when recipes want this specific yield or texture rather than the whole ingredient. aromatic leaf, seed or root used to season rather than bulk. Handle by the moisture and perishability of saffron: keep cold if fresh, dry if shelf-stable. Cook with methods that suit its size and texture. add tender leaves late; hard stems and seeds can go in early. Pairs with oils, stocks, salads, marinades. Save clean trimmings for stock, crumbs or compound butters when they suit the ingredient.
