Created Tasty Saffron Rice, Passed Authenticity Tests
I'm reviewing Param Kesar™ Supreme Saffron Threads, 100% Organic, 1 gm.This is my first time cooking with saffron, so I can't compare it. I like to cook, so did a bit of research on how to properly use this spice.I created saffron rice, and it was a big hit with my husband. He repeatedly remarked about how much he liked it and had a second helping. I enjoyed it as well.This saffron passes the suggested tests to see if it's real. The threads are trumpet shaped and deep red, it gradually turned water golden yellow (see photo), the threads stayed intact after soaking and did not fall apart when rubbed (see photo).This saffron comes in a tiny 1 gm plastic jar. The tamper-proof seal under the lid was intact. The packaging date was June 2023 with a use by date of June 2025.At $8.98 for 1gm the price is on par with other saffron.As a side note, the country of origin for these Param Kesar™ Supreme Saffron Threads is India.
