Firstly, as I am sure you know, saffron is extremely tasty and very distinctive when a top chef uses it to cook seafood dishes such as bouillabaisse and paella. Of course, everyone uses it in risotto and other rice dishes.
So, try adding some to your next beef stew or tomato-based sauce. And to make a wonderful marinade for fish, add saffron threads, garlic, and thyme to vinegar.
Secondly, as you are probably aware, herbal medicine is becoming more and more popular. The stigmas of our favourite spice are found in medicinal supplements for asthma, whooping cough and as an expectorant to loosen phlegm.

In short, the next time someone asks “What is saffron used for?” you will be able to tell them.
Ceylon cinnamon also referred to as true cinnamon is valued for its flavour and health benefits.
Loaded with antioxidants, it helps ease inflammation and lower blood sugar. One other important reason many avid cinnamon users prefer Ceylon cinnamon over cassia cinnamon is its low content in coumarin, which makes it safer to consume.
One question that everyone asks is how can we tell which cinnamon is Ceylon and which in cassia?
Ceylon quills are lighter in colour and very easy to break with hand. On the other hand cassia is much darker in colour and the quills are very thick and hard to break.
Ceylon cinnamon is available in UK, but we must bare in mind that its price is a little higher than cassia. Because True cinnamon only grows in Sri Lanka hence the name Ceylon.
