As a saffron expert and the founder of KONG POSH INDUSTRIES, I can tell you that telling the difference between genuine saffron and dyed stuff is crucial because fake or dyed saffron lacks the flavor, aroma, and medicinal properties of the real thing, and can even be harmful to health in some cases. Here are a few tips to help you distinguish between genuine and dyed saffron:
Price: Genuine saffron is one of the most expensive spices in the world, and if you find a seller offering saffron at a price that seems too good to be true, it probably is. Cheaper saffron is often dyed or adulterated with other materials.
Appearance: Real saffron has bright red stigmas, while dyed or adulterated saffron may have yellow, orange, or brown stigmas. The stigmas of genuine saffron are also thin and threadlike, while dyed or fake saffron may have thicker, more rigid stigmas.
Aroma: Real saffron has a strong, pleasant aroma that is often described as floral or honey-like. Dyed or fake saffron may have little or no aroma, or a chemical or artificial smell.
Taste: Genuine saffron has a bitter, slightly sweet taste that is unique and difficult to replicate. Dyed or fake saffron may have no taste at all, or a chemical or artificial taste.
Water test: One way to test if your saffron is genuine is to put a few strands in a cup of water. Genuine saffron will immediately start to release its color and flavor, turning the water yellow or orange within a minute or two. Dyed or fake saffron will not release any color or flavor, or will release it very slowly.
By keeping these tips in mind and purchasing saffron from a reputable supplier like KONG POSH INDUSTRIES, you can ensure that you are getting the real thing and not a cheap imitation.
