Given that saffron is one of the most prized and most expensive spices worldwide since the beginning of time, multiple traders and brands have become quite dishonest in their supplication of saffron. These traders will adulterate the saffron that they supply by either infusing them into materials that look similar to saffron threads or by dyeing the strands of yellow and lower quality saffron red, which is what pure and high-quality saffron threads should look like.

The red component of the saffron strands is what gives it its potency and not the yellow portions found in lower grade saffron. It is possible for saffron to be pure and unadulterated but not be potent. Saffron is mostly made up of the yellow parts of the stigma is less potent than saffron, entirely made up of the red parts of the Crocus stigma.

Given that saffron is quite expensive worldwide, most people expect the taste and aroma of saffron to be heavenly and completely out of this world. While saffron does not have an aroma labelled under such categories, it has a very sweet honey-like smell with earthy and grassy notes.

There isn’t exactly a difference in the taste or aroma of powdered saffron and saffron threads. However, it is recommended to purchase saffron threads instead of crushed or powdered saffron. Some dodgy suppliers and companies might adulterate powdered saffron by mixing it with other harmful materials, such as dyed rice flour, to increase the quantity and weight of the powdered saffron.

To be stored for a longer period, saffron threads are dried up. These dried threads are meant to be kept in a completely air-tight jar or container in an area that does not have any bright light or fluctuating temperature levels. In such an environment, dried saffron threads can be expected to last for well over 3 years.

However, ground or crushed saffron will only have a shelf life of a minimum of 3 months and maximum 6 months.

Yes, indeed, you can grow saffron at home. However, to ensure that your saffron grows properly, you need to provide it with proper conditions. It can be relatively easy to gather bulbs for planting the saffron flower; however, they can end up being slightly more expensive than the saffron threads.

Saffron threads need an ideal growing environment to be of premium quality, which can be quite difficult to provide at home. For this reason, it is always advisable to purchase high quality and pure saffron threads from reliable suppliers.

Before you start cooking with saffron, keep in your mind that a little saffron goes a long way. It is ideal to use about half a gram of saffron in your rice dishes or stews with 4-6 servings. However, the amount of saffron you use also depends on where you purchase your saffron from. If the saffron you own is extremely high quality, you need not use large amounts of it. However, if the saffron you purchased is of slightly lesser quality, you might need to add a little more to your dishes to get the desired aroma, taste, and colour.

The containers that we use are built so that the saffron stays completely fresh and retains all of its properties. Therefore yes, our containers can be re-used by our customers for multiple other purposes.
