About Safron rice

Saffron rice is a fragrant and vibrant dish, celebrated for its golden hue and rich flavor. Originating from Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines, this rice is infused with saffron threads—one of the world's most prized spices. Saffron provides antioxidants like crocin and safranal, which may support mood and cellular health. Made using white or basmati rice, saffron rice is often enriched with ingredients like onion, garlic, and sometimes ghee or butter, offering a balance of carbs and fats. While delicious and moderately nutritious, its health profile depends on added components; versions with excess butter or oil may contribute to higher calorie intake. Paired with lean proteins or vegetables, saffron rice can be part of a balanced meal that offers energy and flavor while incorporating moderate amounts of essential nutrients and beneficial plant compounds.
