Mahatma - Saffron Yellow Rice - 5oz bag

Mahatma Saffron Yellow Rice has been the best-selling yellow rice in the U.S. since its introduction some 40 years ago. Saffron is the most precious and expensive spice in the world. Saffron dates back to the ancient Greeks. Saffron filaments are the dried stigma of the saffron flower. Each stigma contains only three filaments, which must be picked by hand. More than 75,000 flowers are used to make one pound of saffron spice. Saffron adds a unique flavor and exquisite color to the rice. Flavored with onion and garlic, either as a side dish, or as the beginning of your own Paella, Mahatma® Saffron Yellow Rice makes every meal a special occasion.
