How can we be sure about the authenticity of saffron with a few simple tips?
ere are three methods to determine the authenticity of saffron that you can identify its quality by reading this post from Khatoun Farm’s article
Saffron is one of the most popular and expensive spices among all others. One reason for its high cost is the difficulty of cultivating and maintaining it relative to the amount of product that can be harvested. For this reason, profit-minded individuals find ways to increase its quantity for higher profits.
One of the methods used for saffron adulteration is to spray water, essence, and red food coloring on the white parts of saffron, making it look like the original stigma, which makes it difficult to identify.
What are the important and simple solutions for identification:
1- Using boiling water:
Pour some saffron into boiling water. After a while, if the saffron strands lean towards white and become soft and stretchy, then the saffron is not original.
2- Using a methane flame:
Using a lighter, expose a few pieces of saffron to direct flame. If the pieces turn yellow, they are adulterated.
3- Using baking soda:
Put a few pieces of saffron in a container and pour some baking soda on them. If their color changes to red, they are adulterated.
