Real Saffron has amazing flavor, color, and health benefits. One must buy it from a certified seller.

Real Saffron threads are bulged at one end, and resemble to the shape of a trumpet.

If the Real Saffron threads are rubbed between two fingers, they tend to leave a yellowish orange residue onto them.

Real Saffron smells kind of woody.

When soaked in water, Real Saffron takes time to change the color of water while retaining its own red color.

Same results with the warm water.

Real Saffron tastes somewhat bitter, that’s why it blends magically with sweet and more savory recipes.

Another test is to mix a few saffron threads with baking soda and then add a few drops of water. Mixture must turn yellow for the Real Saffron!
