Saffron is a fragrant spice that might just be hiding in your kitchen. Very little is needed so, as expensive as it is, it might take you awhile to use it up. In Ayurveda saffron has been used as a blood cleanser, and more recent research is showing use to help depression, Alzheimer Disease, PMS, infertility and an aphrodisiac (#summer #foodasmedicine #lemonade #freerecipe)
