I'm looking at doing a trek either in Turkey or Morocco perhaps in April, so could always bring a bit back.
Anybody know what is else is good to bring back from these parts? And which has a reasonable shelf life! |
Hi Jennie,
The chance is that what you bought in turkey is not saffron and merely food colouring. There is not such a thing as cheap saffron. I will try to find out what is commonly sold as saffron. You can achieve the same colouring by using turmeric.
