SPICE UP YOUR MORNINGS

GREEN SAFFRON

The fragrant Green Saffron stall is a regular stop for me whenever I’m in either the Mahon or Midleton Farmers Market.

Met Arun (did you see him on RTE yesterday making a tempting gingerbread?) in Mahon last Thursday and spotted a couple of granolas for sale. These were new to me and, with some advice from the man himself, I settled for a pack of Breakfast Granola, rather than the more expensive luxury one!

Paid just over 4 euro for 500 Gms and I am delighted to say that I am really enjoying my purchase. It certainly has spiced up breakfast time but please don't be put off by all my talk of spice. The Green Saffron Juicy Fruit Spice blend is moderate but does provide a pleasant taste and a pleasing aroma even early in the morning.

The full ingredient list: Rapeseed Oil, Jumbo Oat Flakes, Figs, Golden Syrup, Light Brown Soft Sugar, Rye Flakes, Barley Flakers, Butter, salt, Pistachios, Almonds, Sultanas, Rosewater and Green Saffron’s Juicy Fruit Blend.

Tempted? I bet you are. Try it and let me know what you think.

I love Green Saffron products and have their curry dinners 1-2 times per week. My only complaint is that it has made me lazy! Before, I used to roast and grind my own spices and make all curries from scratch but I hardly ever do that anymore!

Arun is brilliant; so many ingredients for sale, DIY packs and, as you say, sometimes he has it all done for you!
