| If you tell us what you are cooking we might be more helpful. Are you just going for color, flavor or both?? I just made saffron rice tonight and it took very little saffron.......remember to grind it before adding to the the broth. I love the flavor!
Saffron Substitutes: -- turmeric -- (for color, NOT FLAVOR!! ; use 4 times as much) -- safflower -- (use 8 times as much; less expensive and imparts similar color, but taste is decidedly inferior) -- marigold blossoms -- (for color, not flavor; use twice as much) -- annatto seeds -- (Steep 1 teaspoon annatto seeds in 1/4 cup of boiling water for 30 minutes, discard seeds. Reduce liquid in recipe by 1/4 cup.) -- red and yellow food coloring -- |
| Can I use ginger instead of Saffron Season, and how much can I use to make it taste good? |
