How to use it

A pinch, bloomed, added late.

1 · Measure

A generous pinch, about 0.1 g, seasons a dish for four. A gram is roughly ten dishes.

2 · Bloom

Steep the threads in two or three tablespoons of warm water, stock or milk for twenty minutes. The liquid turns deep gold.

3 · Add late

Pour threads and liquid in near the end of cooking. Long boiling dulls the aroma.
