A little jar will last me a very long time indeed.

The recipe on which I ran out is kaa'ak, which uses .3 g--and it wasn't for me but for a certain member of my family with a depraved taste for the stuff who should be getting on a plane for Pennsic just about now. I've just ordered 10 g at what works out, including postage, to about $4.60/g fromhttp://www.theposter.com/saffron2.html. I'll be happy to report on the result.

Their price for an ounce is $79.95.
