One gram of saffron!



I bought one gram of saffron at the pharmacy, as
my mother once told me that was the place to
buy it. It is called safran in Norwegian.

She used it for some of her Christmas baking.
I want to use a tiny bit of it for Yellow Salmon Soup
and a little bit for double-braided loaves.
One gram!

Many years ago I was told saffron is more expensive
than gold.
This one gram cost 126 Norwegian kroner - around
21 US dollars, I estimate.

Will it be enough for the soup and the bread?
:-)
Will I have some of it left for further projects after that?
