Saffron, often referred to as "Red Gold," is the most expensive spice in the world. In Pakistan, it has been a staple in royal kitchens, traditional medicine (Hikmat), and beauty rituals for centuries. However, for most consumers, the biggest hurdle isn't finding saffron—it’s finding pure saffron at a fair price.
Why is Saffron So Expensive?
To understand the price, you have to understand the labor. Saffron comes from the Crocus sativus flower. Each flower produces only three tiny red stigmas (threads).
- To produce just 1 kilogram of saffron, nearly 150,000 flowers must be hand-picked.
- The harvesting must be done at dawn before the sun gets too hot.
- The threads are then dried with extreme precision to preserve their aroma and medicinal properties.

How to Identify Pure Saffron (The 3 Golden Tests)
The market is flooded with "fake saffron" made from dyed corn silk. Before you spend your money, perform these three tests:
1. The Cold Water Test
Place a few threads in a glass of cold water. Pure Saffron will slowly turn the water a Golden Yellow while the thread stays red. Fake saffron turns the water red immediately.
2. The Smell and Taste Logic
Pure saffron has a strong aroma but never tastes sweet. Authentic saffron has a slightly bitter taste.
3. The Physical Texture
If you rub a wet thread between your fingers, pure saffron will not break or dissolve. It remains intact.
