Saffron is a must when it comes
to various Indian delicacies like Biryani, Kheer or sweets. A little pinch of
it can give dimensions to any recipe. As saffron has always maintained its
importance in the kitchen, it is required to select the finest quality of
Saffron.
When the quality and taste of the
saffron is concerned, nothing can beat the special Kashmiri Saffron. It is the
favorite ingredient of most of the famous restaurants, and thus they prefer it
to be ordered online in bulk. However, you can always do it a reality check for
the original Kashmiri saffron online purchase.
Here are a few ways you can
ensure the quality of the Saffron:
•
Fresh Saffron can never taste sweet as soon as
you put a strand on your mouth for tasting.
•
Saffron is easily distinguished by its
fragrance. It has a very comprehensive sweet honey like smell. The sweeter the
aroma, the finer is it!
•
Saffron can also be used for garnishing, but
mainly it is dipped in water or milk till it decolorizes itself and then it
added to the dish. It gives that vibrant savoring color
to it. There are fake ones also available in the market. It is made by using
synthetic colors. A real saffron strand will maintain the color of the liquid
even it is taken out of it.
•
A simple experiment can be carried out by adding
a pinch of baking soda in the liquid-saffron mixture. If the color is natural,
then it will produce a beautiful yellow color whereas the synthetic ones give a
reddish color.
•
Take some saffron strands on your palm and then
add a little cold water to it. Gently rub them with your fingers. If the
saffron is real, then it won't break, unlike the fake ones that may also
decolorize into dust and mud.
The quality of the saffron is
necessary to be tested as the fake ones nowadays available in the market are
costly as they claim it to be of the finest quality. Such high prices often
make customers mislead themselves as they are willing to offer any amount for
the best quality of Kashmiri saffron. Such added colors and favors can also
risk the health of the customers.

unturned in order to provide the customers with the finest quality of Kashmiri
Saffron online. They understand the gravity of aroma, texture, color, etc. of
