One less common spice that you may not keep in stock is saffron. Maybe that\u2019s because you\u2019ve yet to try it and aren\u2019t sure what dishes it pairs well with\u2026 or perhaps because it\u2019s known to be the most expensive spice in the world.<\/p>\n<p>So what, exactly, is the deal with this luxurious and often elusive spice? Ahead, two dietitians share the benefits of saffron, how it can inspire your home cooking, and more.<\/p>\n<h2>What is saffron?<\/h2>\n<p>Saffron derives from the dried stigmas of the plant <em>Crocus sativus<\/em> L., explains Brooklyn-based dietitian <a href=\"https:\/\/mayafellernutrition.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/mayafellernutrition.com\/\">Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN<\/a>. \u201cThe dried stigmas look like threads or strands, are often a bright reddish-orange, and are used throughout a number of cooking applications,\u201d she continues.<\/p>\n<p>As for the taste, Feller says it\u2019s challenging to describe. \u201cIt&#8217;s earthy yet subtly sweet,\u201d as well as \u201cvery recognizable and unforgettable\u201d once you try it. Moreover, she notes that the flavor can be polarizing: \u201cEither you love it or you don&#8217;t, and most love it.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/glowandgreens.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/glowandgreens.com\/\">Gaby Vaca-Flores, RDN<\/a>, a dietitian based in Los Angeles, adds that saffron \u201chas an earthy bold flavor that can be described as both semi-sweet and bitter.\u201d Flavoring purposes aside, saffron is also used as a natural dye for foods and cosmetics given its signature bold hue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/saffron-benefits\/\" current-title=\"Saffron Is Excellent for Long-Term Brain Health, Mood-Boosting Benefits, and (Of Course) Cooking\" current-image=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Stocksy_txpb1f5ea0ejhn300_Small_761942_418x278_true_70.webp\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-04-04\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/saffron-benefits\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/saffron-benefits\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/saffron-benefits\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Health benefits of saffron<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cSaffron is made up of four active ingredients: crocin, crocetin, safranal, and picrocrocin. Crocin, a carotenoid, is responsible for its bright yellow\/red color,\u201d Feller shares. Saffron is linked to several health benefits, which the dietitian largely credits to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s popularly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian dishes like <em>tahdig<\/em> and Spanish <em>paella<\/em>,\u201d Vaca-Flores explains. Feller mentions that saffron is sometimes used in soups and stews, especially in some North African cuisines.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOne of the primary ways that saffron benefits health is by way of mood support,\u201d says Vaca-Flores. \u201cSpecifically, it\u2019s beneficial for improving mood in people with mild to moderate depression.\u201d According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24299602\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24299602\/\">2013 meta review<\/a> of five randomized controlled trials, adults who supplemented with saffron experienced significantly reduced symptoms of depression compared to a placebo group. Strikingly, saffron was also found to be similarly effective as antidepressant medications. (Note: This definitely doesn\u2019t mean you should ditch your Rx in favor of the spice, but it may be worth consulting your healthcare team to see if dietary saffron could complement your mental health treatment protocol.) More on the mood front: Vaca-Flores says saffron can be your ally against undesired mood changes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7792881\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7792881\/\">associated with PMS or PMDD<\/a>, such as irritability, with minimal adverse effects.<\/p>\n<p>Given its robust antioxidant content, the spice is \u201cassociated with an array of health benefits including cognitive support and protection from oxidative stress,\u201d Vaca-Flores continues. Feller adds that saffron\u2019s active compounds are said to be <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29134501\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29134501\/\">cardioprotective and neuroprotective<\/a>.

Feller mentions that saffron is sometimes used in soups and stews, as well as in some North African cuisines.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOne of the primary ways that saffron benefits health is by way of mood support,\u201d says Vaca-Flores. \u201cSpecifically, it\u2019s beneficial for improving mood in people with mild to moderate depression.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yet if you\u2019re already a fan and want to get more of the mood-boosting, pro-aging saffron benefits in your life, take cues from the dietitians to inspire your own home cooking. Vaca-Flores cites risotto with saffron as her own go-to. Meanwhile, Feller\u2019s favorite is her own branzino bouillabaisse recipe, which you can check out in her cookbook, <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FEating-Our-Roots-Home-Cooked-Favorites%2Fdp%2F0593235088%2Fref%3Dtmm_hrd_swatch_0%3F_encoding%3DUTF8%26amp%253Bqid%3D%26amp%253Bsr%3D%26tag%3Dwgtrx9423-20%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.wellandgood.com%252Fsaffron-benefits%252F%26asc_source%3Ddirect%26asc_campaign%3Dno-campaign&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fsaffron-benefits%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Eating-Our-Roots-Home-Cooked-Favorites\/dp\/0593235088\/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=\" data-type=\"affiliateLink\"><em>Eating From Our Roots: 80+ Healthy Home-Cooked Favorites from Cultures Around the World<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Many moons ago, I invested in saffron upon falling in love with paella on a trip to Spain\u2026 only to use my $30 stash <em>once<\/em> after my own paella failed in comparison.
