I have never cooked with saffron before.  Is a lower quantity of yellow
threads good or bad?  Would I get better saffron from The Pepperer's Guild
or from Penzey's.  This is important to know, as I will soon be placing an
order for spices.  In general, which would have the better quality of spices?
