Grinding with sugar is definitely the way to go. I generally buy a big wheel of Iranian Saffron on eBay or a Persian shop, then grind it all up in a mortar and pestle with some sugar and store it in a spice jar in a dark cupboard. Then when you need it you don't need to be faffing about. If you want to be fancy, save a few whole strands that you can add to rice for decoration, but using whole stamens is really not necessary.

- globular-toast 2y agoYes we do.
- barrkel 2y agoI think that's just the US, though, right? UK imported 11 tons of saffron from Iran in 2023 - https://wits.worldbank.org/trade/comtrade/en/country/GBR/year/2023/tradeflow/Imports/partner/ALL/product/091020 https://wits.worldbank.org/trade/comtrade/en/country/GBR/yea...
