Such a beautiful plant, I love it!
Thank you so much Ellie
I had too much saffron risotto when I was a kid, I hate this spice now. ?
I understand you. I do not use these spices too.
I like this flower because of its calories. I do not use it as a spice.
Thank you. I do not use these spice too.
I have heard of it but never used it as a spice. Beautiful image.
Thank you. This is a very famous spice
I had heard of saffron as a spice in the old trading routes and that it is still being used today although not by me. But maybe I should use it as an appetite suppressant as you mentioned because I am desperate to lose weight. I will have to look into it… Beautiful looking plant…and flower….
Saffron is best known as spice. I do not use this spice. But I have to try it if it really suppresses the appetite ?
once upon a time, saffron was among the most expensive of spices
I agree. It is still the most expensive spice in Slovenia
I am not surprised, it’s still quite popular…
Glad to see this post, always wanted to know what Saffron was like and never used it nor seen it on the shelves.
Not many know about Saffron, but I think it is a yellow dye and a very expensive spice.
If you can grow it, well that is fabulous!
I would like to try it.
Thank you very much, Pamela. I’m glad you liked the post. You’re right, the yellow spice (as a spice used stamens). I use this spice is very little.
Thank you. I’m glad you found out something new
Gorgeous blooms. I am familiar with saffron but never use it for some reason.
Thank you, Carol. I do not use saffron too.
Wonderful painting dear Vidocka … he was very big with us, but I knew he was a healing plant
Thank you, Lado. Saffron is a spice and a medicinal plant.
To hear the spice and medicinal herb for the first time … again I know something new
A man learns his whole life, we never know everything
I totally agree with you dear Vidocka
Thank you for sharing such great information about Saffron. I haven’t seen one but hopefully could.
Thank you, Sharon. I’m glad you liked the post. I want to provide some interesting information. ?
Hmm… The beautiful face of the most expensive spices in the world… Is this in your garden too?
Thank you. Unfortunately, I do not have this spice in the garden. I think it would not work because it uses humid soil.
Nice image Vidocka. Saffron with its lavender hues look beautiful. Sorry if I have got the color wrong, I am either color-blind or color-illiterate.
Thank you. It would be hard to decide on the color. I would say that the light purple ?
Thank you. So I am color illiterate only. ?
I do not know what to say. Purple is very “complicated”. I always find it difficult to decide which one is purple. ?
I know saffron is pretty expensive spice but haven’t used it in cooking …
I do not use these spices too
I did not know saffron had healing properties. I learned something today!
I’m glad you learned something new. You teach me, I teach you ?
well, thank you for teaching me!
