100% PURE Moroccan Taliouine Saffron. Premium Quality (1 gram) Moroccan saffron from Taliouine -as precious as gold threads- is the best saffron in the world. Bright red, perfectly long locks are as beautiful as they are colorful and tasty. Taliouine, a small village in the heart of saffron country, located in southern Morocco between Ouarzazate and Agadir, is well known for its very high quality saffron. Saffron is considered the most expensive spice. It takes 200,000 flowers, harvested BY HAND, to produce just ONE POUND of Saffron. It is, however, affordable because only a small amount is needed for most recipes. Saffron is popular in Mediterranean chicken dishes but pairs well with a wide variety of cuisines. Saffron is used in sedatives, as an antispasmodic and for flatulence and some cultures consider it an aphrodisiac. Excellent in herbal tea to soothe the stomach and calm the nerves. Store saffron in an airtight container and away from strong light. We traveled all the way to Taliouine to meet the producer and sourced our saffron directly from him to ensure we were getting the best saffron for our customers. You won't believe how this will take your dishes to another dimension, until you try it 🙂
