How To Make Saffron-Infused Rice From Scratch Saffron brings not only its signature flavor to this dish but also provides it's signature yellow color to the rice.

Because saffron is so expensive, this recipe calls for just a small amount; the color is then enhanced by adding turmeric.

Not only does that spice have incredible health benefits (in Thailand, turmeric is known as "poor man's saffron"), but also turns the rice a vibrant yellow.

Indian saffron is richer, darker in its red-orange color then the Spanish or Italian, and gives a better flavor to rice.

The saffron should always be steeped in hot water ahead of time and used as part of the liquid in the recipe.
