Saffron threads are often crumbled and pre-soaked in water for atleast 15-20 minutes or sherry for several minutes prior to adding them to a dish.
This process extracts the threads colour and flavour into the liquid phase; powdered saffron does not require this step.
The saffron soaking water solution is then added to the hot cooking dish, allowing even colour and flavour distribution, which is critical in preparing baked goods or thick sauces.
Threads are a popular condiment for rice in Spain called Paella valenciana.
Moroccans use saffron in many salty or sweet-and salty dishes.
In Kashmir, saffron is used in kahwa, an aromatic beverage made from saffron, almonds, walnuts, cardamom etc.
