Ingredients

Usage

The Saffron Food Crayon is applied by sharpening shavings directly onto plates,

desserts, or drinks when serving them. As the shavings come into contact with

the food, they release the saffron flavor, adding a nice taste to the dishes.

Serving size

The recommended usage is 5 to 10 shavings per plate for larger servings. For

smaller servings or drinks, 1 or 2 shavings should suffice.

Shelf life and storage

The Saffron Food Crayon has a shelf life of up to 12 months. Once the crayon is

opened, it should be stored in the fridge to maintain freshness and quality.
