Round saffron sweet

Total weight: 500 grams

Saffron has a sweet, floral taste to it. It's earthy and has a complex nuanced flavor. On the other hand, saffron that tastes bitter, metallic, or plastic like are often cheap imitators of this unique spice and should be avoided.
Because of how its native bitterness plays off honey or sugar — not to mention its haunting aroma, spicy flavor and tenacious color — it often appears in desserts, as in today's recipe. Halwa (sometimes spelled halwah or halva) is a Persian semi-sweet dessert based in semolina flour and flavored with saffron.
