Here are the key facts extracted from the text, numbered and in short sentences, excluding opinions:
1. **Study on Saffron Drying**: A study in 2009 found that drying saffron for many days in the sun causes dehydration and loss of properties.
2. **Saffron Source**: To make high-quality saffron powder, buy saffron threads from open-air markets or organic markets.
3. **No Need for Aluminum Foil**: When dehydrating, a stainless steel mold can be used instead of aluminum foil.
4. **Saffron Quantity**: The demonstration uses 200 grams of turmeric root (noted as a potential mistake, as the context seems to refer to saffron).
5. **Dehydration Methods**:
* **Oven Method**: Dehydrate at the lowest possible temperature (e.g., 100 degrees) for two hours, checking every half hour.
* **Dehydrator Method**: Preferable, with a very low temperature (e.g., 60 degrees).
6. **Processing Tool**: A grain grinder (specific model mentioned) can be used to powder the dehydrated saffron.
7. **Affiliate Link**: A processor and grain grinder are available through an affiliate link in the video description.
8. **Storage and Consumption**:
* **Storage**: Store the powder as you would any other spice.
* **Consumption Tip**: Consume saffron with a little black pepper to enhance curcumin absorption due to piperine in the pepper.
9. **Yield**: 200 grams of saffron root yields a significant amount of powder, potentially more cost-effective than buying powdered turmeric without additives.
