This may be a heresy, but I was talking with a ornamental horticulturist
recently who said that saffron was just the anther from a special crocus
that we are all paying so much to get. I was wondering if anyone had
tried using the anthers from any other croci to substitute???
On another thought, I just picked up some ground red sandalwood, and am
dying to try it for coloring ability in food...
