I've heard that saffron is a very expensive spice, and I'm worried that when I buy it, I might not be getting the real thing. Is it common for people to sell fake saffron, and if so, how can I avoid buying it?

Another option is to buy saffron threads that have fillers added to increase their weight. This means that consumers will get far less saffron in a container compared to the genuine article.

A third option is to purchase fake saffron threads, which are often dyed red to resemble the real thing.

These fake threads can be made from a variety of materials, including stigmas from other plants or even some very odd items.
