5. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Saffron
Heb. karkom, Arab. zafran (i.e., "yellow"), mentioned only in
Cant. 4:13, 14; the Crocus sativus. Many species of the crocus
are found in Palestine. The pistils and stigmata, from the
centre of its flowers, are pressed into "saffron cakes," common
in the East. "We found," says Tristram, "saffron a very useful
condiment in travelling cookery, a very small pinch of it giving
not only a rich yellow colour but an agreable flavour to a dish
of rice or to an insipid stew."
