These simple checks can help.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Look:<\/strong> Real threads are deep red, with a slightly lighter tip and a trumpet-like shape at one end.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smell:<\/strong> Real saffron has a sweet, floral aroma.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water test:<\/strong> Place a few threads in warm water. Real saffron slowly releases a golden-yellow colour, and the threads keep their shape and colour. Fake saffron often colours the water red instantly or falls apart.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Touch:<\/strong> After soaking, a real thread stays whole when rubbed gently. Fakes often break apart.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> A very low price is a warning sign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These tests are helpful but not lab-level proof, so buy from a seller you
