Saffron Water

Saffron Water is a simple infusion made by steeping saffron threads in hot or cold water and is used in many South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines for its color, aroma and delicate flavor. It is essentially calorie-free at 0kcal per 100g and is consumed more for scent and culinary effect than for bulk nutrition. While it provides negligible macronutrients, the saffron itself contributes trace minerals and plant compounds that can offer mild antioxidant benefits and a pleasant, low-calorie way to add flavor or a sense of indulgence to drinks and recipes.
