Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Excellent Quality and Real - Since Saffron is commonly faked since it is the most expensive pice (by weight), I like to leave reviews to help both inexperienced and experienced saffron buyers. I have encountered many fakes even at grocery stores. This is not a fake. Authenticity test include smelling and evaluating the threads by soaking in water. Fake saffron will do several things that will clearly identify them as fake. After adding a few threads to some water, the water should be bright yellow and clear while the threads will retain their dark color on the entire thread. Fake saffron will produce a water the is not quite as vibrant but also muddled. For fake, the dye soaks off and the threads start to disintegrate and some of the threads will turn a white color as the dye wears off. In the pictures, you will see the water is bright yellow and clear. The all of the threads stayed dark and retained their shape. I even took the threads out of the water on one picture to show NO disintegration. The smell was full and fresh plus it tasted wonderful. Lastly, you can see in the pictures great quantity. They did not skimp on the product as some places do not pack the full quantity as advertised. That was not the case with this one. Based on what I received, I highly recommend. You should be able to buy with confidence, that you are receiving, high guality authentic saffron.
