Saffron contains a poison that acts on the central nervous system and damages the kidneys. Large doses can have severe effects; 10-12 grams is a fatal dose for humans. The high cost of saffron and the availability of synthetic substitutes make its use as a medicine rare. Use only the anthers; corms are poisonous.
Saffron (pronounced /ËsÃ¦frÉn/ or /ËsÃ¦frÉn/) is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the saffron crocus. Saffron crocus grows to 20â30 cm (8â12 in) and bears up to four flowers, each with three vivid crimson stigmata, which are the distal end of a carpel. The styles and stigmata, called threads, are collected and dried to be used mainly as a seasoning and colouring agent in food.
