• Market is filled with adulterated products.
• Corn silk / coconut fibres.
• Pure saffron releases colour slowly.
• Honey and hay aroma.
• Red strands vs yellow tails.

Because the market is filled with adulterated products, buyers should be careful of counterfeit saffron. Some sellers use dried corn silk threads, coconut fibres and other materials to mimic the appearance of saffron.

Never buy saffron that releases colour instantly when dropped into cold water. Pure saffron takes time to slowly release its golden hue.

A quick test at home is to check the aroma. Genuine saffron has a distinctive fragrance that is often described as a blend of honey and hay.

Premium Negin saffron consists primarily of deep red strands and contains little or no yellow or white tails. If the tail is yellow, the potency is generally lower.

Pure saffron has an extremely long shelf life when properly dried and stored correctly. Over time, it may gradually lose some potency, but high-quality saffron retains its aroma and color for years.

Store saffron in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

For best results, avoid frequent exposure to heat and humidity.

Saffron is one of the world’s most precious spices because every strand is harvested by hand from the Crocus sativus flower.

Each flower produces only three delicate crimson stigmas, making the harvesting process highly labor intensive and time sensitive.

It takes 1,50,000 flowers to yield just one kilogram of saffron.

Saffron can be used in:

• kahwa and tea
  
• warm milk
  
• desserts and baking
  
• biryani and pulao
  
• ice creams
  
• wellness rituals
  
• Ayurvedic preparations
  

A few strands go a long way.

Saffron has traditionally been valued for its wellness properties and is commonly used in Ayurvedic and holistic practices.

It is appreciated for its aroma, warmth, richness, and antioxidant compounds.
