SAFFRON GREEK YOGURT

Saffron is the most natural and flavorful food color for any food. I think it goes best in a desert or any sweet treat. The aroma is heavenly. I cant believe how flavorful it can make the yogurt taste and have medicinal qualities too. It has anti-carcinogenic, antioxidant, anti-depression, and anti-inflammatory qualities of the few known. Medicinal uses aside, I think I like it with my Greek yogurt, which is a good source of protein and calcium without too many carbs. Two healthy things make a yummy desert I say! You just need a few strands of saffron to get some amazing color and taste.
