Be careful when buying saffron. Sometimes it is adulterated with other spices. Real saffron is expensive and has a dark orange or brownish red color.

Choose whole saffron threads over saffron powder. The threads have better taste, and the curative qualities are higher.

Throughout history, dishonest dealers would adulterate their saffron by adding such materials for additional weight or by dyeing the lower quality saffron strands red, which is a sign of the quality of saffron. Pure saffron contains only stigma of the Crocus flower with nothing else added.

For example, every red saffron that is 10 years old is not of good quality. The next criterion is fragrance. Old saffron loses its pungent flavor and sometimes has no flavor at all. So the quality saffron is saffron, which is completely red and has a pleasant aroma. Please note that this does not mean that any pure saffron with some yellow in it is not saffron. It’s just not as strong as red saffron. In fact, some people prefer saffron with yellow in it, and they are not saffron unless the stigma does not have any yellow.

The classification of saffron is carried out by color, the content of floral waste and foreign substances. There are three types of saffron: Mongra contains most of the dry stigmas. Lacha is part of the stigma with style. Gucchi contains the whole-style stigma associated in bundles.
