When you have the water your cooking the rice in, throw the strands in the water and cook, tis simple!

The pale yellow is correct.

The soggy rice is you can't cook rice

(a few strands of saffron aren't going to affect how the rice cooks

)

Someone had joined just to advertise saffron powder, it's been deleted.

Living with his fake saffron dispite his protest.
To be fare if I had cheap saffron getting through a kilo wouldn't be hard.
Same way a kilo of chilli lasts no time, with me.

It isn't proper saffron then

Indeed usually the while plant shredded excluding the actual fronds.
