As it is Easter, sourdough saffron buns. You're welcome. #Sourdough #Saffron #SaturdayBaking

Twelve golden coloured buns on a baking sheet lined with paper. The raisins and candid peel can be seen poking out of some of the buns. With others their sweetness  an be seen just below the skin.

Fire up your grill for a delicious BBQ chicken breast with saffron! Start by marinating the chicken in a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of saffron threads for about an hour. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Let it rest before serving. Enjoy the fragrant, flavorful twist saffron adds to your BBQ!

How do they do it?

My Saffron stays green all winter and has completely died back above ground by early June. They come up again at the end of August-early September. It’s hard to imagine they are creating more plant mass in the winter β€” but they keep making new corms every year??

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 13

On the day where St. Lucia is traditionally celebrated in my native #Sweden, I'll share this painting of delicious St. Lucia saffron buns I painted last year, traditionally baked for December 13th and the "Festival of Light".

Let me tell you, these are SO tasty. In fact, I need to bake some before Christmas!

The price for #Saffron this year seems to be around 3500€/kg for both Spanish and Afghan origin. I just ordered 5 grams to stock up (it lasts very long, as you really only need minuscule amounts). #LifeHack you can also give your rice a nice yellow colour with #Turmeric AKA #Kurkuma. But the saffron aroma is unbeatable, IMHO.

I cannot get over how pretty the saffron flowers are!

THE STRIPES, PEOPLE!!!

#Saffron #Bloomscrolling #Florespondence

A light purple saffron crocus flower with six teardrop-shaped petals.  Each petal starts narrow and flares out at the top, then comes quickly back into a point.  There are slightly darker lavender colored stripes that also flare out - looking like fancy plumes or Art Nouveau patterns.  Three yellow pollen covered stamens poke out of the center, as well as three reddish orange filaments that drape out onto the lower petals.   Its leaves look like blades of grass.  Around it and out of focus, some more green shoots are poking up out of the soil.

BEHOLD, MY MAGNIFICENT HARVEST!!!

Saffron threads from yesterday (bottom) and today (top)

I tell ya, after this, I can quit my job and live a life of leisure! /s

#Saffron
#Bloomscrolling #Florespondence

Two very small piles of saffron filaments - at the bottom, darker red and thinner, more dried out.  At the top, some fresh ones - bright orange-red with yellow ends, looking plumper and bigger.

Seriously, there only about 6 or 7 in each group, it's not a lot.

@ludibriumventis my daughter Rebecca and I made a raised bed and planted about 150 Saffron corms in 2020. Last June I dug up all the corms and divided into 3 sizes groups: large, medium, and tiny. I shared a bunch with friends and replanted. Seems new daughter corms start every year and after a couple years the original fades away. We had many more flowers after replanting the bed this year!

#Saffron

3 one gallon flower pots with Saffron corms in three sizes: large, medium, and tiny. The large and medium pots are filled to the brim. The pot with the tiny corms is only about 1/2 full.
