  • Saffron—Truffle of the Spice World. in the PANTRY Red Gold
    IN THE PANTRY red gold Saffron—truffle of the spice world. RED GOLD BY AMY PATUREL 42 The NaTioNal CuliNary review • oCTober 2014 affron is the most expensive spice on earth, and for good reason. It takes more than 200,000 stigmas, picked by Shand from about 80,000 crocus blossoms, to make just 1 pound of the spice. The cost is a whopping $4,500 a pound. Why bother with such a high-maintenance ingredient? Accord- ing to Nirmala Narine, founder of Nirmala’s Kitchen and TV host of Veria Living’s “Nirmala’s Spice World,” there’s no substitute for the musty, honey-like taste saffron provides. “Just a few threads can color and flavor a dish beautifully,” she says. A prized ingredient in Northern Indian, Spanish and Iranian cuisines—the largest saffron-producing regions in the world— saffron can only be harvested during a two-week flowering period, hence, the moniker “red gold.” Yet it has managed to permeate the culinary landscape in the U.S., appearing in everything from ice cubes and cocktails to ice cream and cake. Saffron is loaded with disease-fighting nutrients, such as vitamin C, thiamin and carotenoids. “Its medicinal properties date back centuries,” says Monica Bhide, author of Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen (Simon & ILLUSTRATION CREDIT Craftsmanspace.com ILLUSTRATION Schuster, 2009). In fact, according to ancient medicinal texts, the legendary spice yields a range of benefits, from antidepressant to aphrodisiac. Ask a chef, though, and you’ll learn that saffron’s greatest power lies in its ability to instantly transform an otherwise drab dish.

As new names are proposed chenopodiicola de Gruyter, Noordel. & Boerema, Phoma pereupyrena de Gruyter, Noordel. & Boerema and Phoma selaginellicola de Gruyter, Noordel. & Boerema. New combinations of species originally classified in Phyllosticta Auct. include: Phoma ajacis (Thümen) v.d. Aa & Boerema, Phoma arachidis-hypogaeae (Vasant Rao) v.d. Aa & Boerema, Phoma haematocycla (Berk.) v.d. Aa & Boerema,Phoma piperis (Tassi) v.d. Aa & Boerema and Phoma poolensis var. verbasci- cola & v.d. Aa & Boerema. and indices (Ell. Kellerm.) Host-fungus fungus-host are pro- vided, and short comments on the ecology and distribution ofthe taxa are given. The study of Phoma species in vivo and in vitro has led to the differentiationof a number of sections within the genus, see e.g. Van der Aa, Noordeloos & de Gruyter (1990). The Contributions first paper in this series of precursores of a planned monograph of Phoma, 1-1 (De Gruyter & Noordeloos, 1992), deals with 18 species of section Phoma with very small conidia in vitro, i.e.
