Saffron is a yellow spice used to color and flavor foods like rice, used a lot in Indian dishes. It comes from a plant that produces threads. The threads can be purchased in spice jars in grocery stores or spice shops. Saffron is also available ground as a powder.

Saffron is mainly used to impart a yellow colour and a delicate flavour to both sweet and savoury dishes. It was the traditional colouring in Spanish paella and in Cornish saffron cakes. It's extremely expensive so nowadays it's often replaced with cheaper colourings.
