About Saffron and What Makes Saffron Special

Saffron is a precious spice derived from the flower of the Saffron crocus plant. It's known for its distinctive taste and color, which adds depth and richness to dishes. The three main compounds in saffron – Picrocrocin, Safranal, and Crocin – contribute to its unique flavor, fragrance, and golden-yellow hue. Original Kashmir Saffron stands out for its high crocin content, which gives it superior quality and coloring strength compared to saffron from other regions.

Identifying Original Saffron/Kesar

While Kashmir produces the best saffron globally, there's a risk of adulteration due to its high value. Mixing Iranian saffron with Kashmiri saffron is a common practice, making it challenging to find genuine Kashmiri saffron. To detect authentic saffron, look for specific markers like picrocrocin, the only compound found in saffron. Other tests include checking if saffron strands sink in water, leaving no oily spots when pressed between filter paper, and dyeing a white cloth to a yellow shade. Chemical tests like reacting with sulphuric acid or barium salt solution can also confirm authenticity.
