Pure Saffron?

There are plenty of fake saffrons on the market. Here are the characteristics of pure saffron, to distinguish the most valuable spice in the world from the fakes ones.

Bitter Taste

Taste few saffron stigmas! They must be bitter. Otherwise, they have additives or in the worst case are totally fake saffron.

Slow Coloring

If saffron color extracts immediately, it has additives.

Horny Shape Flags

Head of saffron stigmas are slightly trumpet-shaped, and one side is thicker than the other

Not Greasy

Saffron stigmas are NOT greasy. For testing, squeeze them in a brown paper. There shouldn’t be any oil trail on the paper.

No Fertilizer or Chemical Pesticide

In the cultivation and operation of organic saffron, pesticides and chemical herbicides have not been used. However this is something that only labs can assess.

Intact & Long Stigmas

There is far more chance of being fraudulent in comminuted and broken stigmas. Saffron farmers, use the whole saffron stigmas, not just the red pieces.
