Saffron
Saffron is derived from a flower and sold as threads or powder. Saffron lends a golden color to foods, such as paella, a traditional Spanish dish. Saffron is a strong flavor, so add a little bit at a time.
Saffron pairs well with seafood and poultry. It also can be added to baked goods, such as breads, rolls and cookies. Add it toward the end of your dish's cooking time.
