Introduction
Saffron is one of the most expensive spices in the world, but sadly, the market is flooded with fake or adulterated saffron. As a result, many families end up paying premium prices for poor-quality products. At Pure Harvests, we believe you deserve authenticity, which is why our saffron undergoes both traditional and lab-certified purity checks.
Why Saffron is Often Adulterated
- High demand + limited harvest = more fakes.
- Sellers mix saffron with dyed corn silk, plastic threads, or even chemicals.
- Consuming fake saffron isn’t just disappointing — it can be harmful.
The Famous Cold Milk Test
The cold milk test is the simplest and most trusted method to check purity:
- Take a glass of cold milk.
- Drop a few strands of saffron into it.
- Observe:
- Pure saffron releases a golden-yellow hue slowly (over 10–15 minutes).
- Fake saffron releases instant red/purple dye.
✅ Every batch of Pure Harvests saffron passes this test before it reaches you.
Other Ways to Identify Pure Saffron
- Smell Test: Real saffron has a strong, earthy, honey-like aroma.
- Taste Test: Slightly bitter taste (not sweet).
- Lab Testing: The ultimate guarantee. Pure Harvests saffron is lab-certified by the Govt. Food Lab, Jammu.
