Kesar Rice

Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

Saffron is considered to be one of the most expensive spices as it is extracted with much difficulty and is a reservoir of essential nutrients. Saffron is a rich source of potassium, carbohydrates, dietary fibre, protein, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, calcium, iron, Vitamin B6 and magnesium. Kesar rice is nothing but rice cooked in saffron, which means this dish has loads to offer in terms of nutrition.
