1. Observe the appearanceIf you want to determine whether saffron is real or fake, you can first observe the appearance. Most of the saffron you buy is the stigma on the flower, so it looks like a very obvious red filament. Fake saffron is not filaments, it belongs to the saffron family, so it looks like a bunch of small red flowers and can be easily distinguished by appearance. 2. Press to distinguishIn addition to observing the appearance, you can also press it to identify it. Generally, fake saffron is soaked in oil by vendors in order to increase its weight, but this will not be the case with real saffron. You can choose a clean piece of white paper, place the saffron you bought in the middle and press it hard. If oil stains appear, it means it is fake, and if there are no oil stains, it is real. 3. Smell IdentificationIt can also be identified by smell. Real saffron will have a very strong aroma and smell quite special, but fake saffron will not have this smell. The smell it emits may be relatively light or even invisible. 4. Soak in water to distinguishReal saffron contains yellow. After soaking in water, the water will turn yellow, but the saffron itself is still red. This is the real thing. Fake ones are usually dyed. After soaking in water, the water will turn light red and the stone itself will turn white. |
