Understanding the real vs Fake saffron is a question that most people face when buying saffron. In this post, I will deeply explain each aspect of saffron quality and methods on differentiating real vs fake saffron.
Fake saffron is mostly adulterants and foreign materials that are colored with red food coloring and sold as real saffron. The fake saffron has no flavor and have a metallic taste like chemicals. Fake saffron also smells like tabacco or chemical substances, it a sharp and unpleasant smell.
On the other hand, real saffron has a pleasant and strong floral smell, with a honeyed earthy taste. It has a mixed of sweet and bitter taste. It is an enjoyable essence of flavor that you are looking in saffron.
Known as one of the most expensive spices in the world, there's much about saffron that Western cultures often misunderstand. This week on Beyond the Shelf, we spoke with the CEO & Co-Founder of Heray Spice, Mohammad Salehi.
We are excited to announce that our processing facility center in Herat Afghanistan is back open.After 4 months, we finally recalled some of our partners and employees and opened our office and facility.
We recently purchased saffron that surpassed all our expectations. This saffron exhibited a deep crimson color, a strong and distinct aroma, and a subtle yet rich flavor. The threads were long and thick, indicative of its superior quality. It was packaged in an airtight container, preserving its freshness perfectly. This saffron met all the highest standards, making it the best we have ever used
This is the best Saffron I have ever bought! I give it a 10 out of 10! The person I dealt with was very nice and helpful. I already made a jar of tincture with it!
Thank you for the lovely feedback. We are honored and appreciate your 5-star review.
