How to Recognize Grade A Saffron?

How to Recognize Grade A Saffron?

Saffron isn't just a spice, it's also known as Red Gold. But how do you know the saffron you're buying is really the best? Here is the break-down to find which saffron is high-grade. We prove it through science. And that's where ISO 3632-2 lab testing comes in.

What is ISO 3632-2?

ISO 3632-2 is a kind of report card for saffron. It's an international testing standard that confirms how strong and pure a saffron sample really is.
There are three tests, and each one looks at a different part of what makes saffron so special:
Crocin – This measures the color intensity. The higher the crocin, the deeper and more
vibrant yellow-orange color you will get when using the saffron.
Picrocrocin – This is a taste test. The higher the figure, the stronger and more
characteristic saffron flavor.
Safranal – This is an aroma test. When the figure is high, the saffron will have a stronger and more potent scent.

What Does This Mean to You?

Darker Color: A reading of 252 crocin translates to deeper, richer golden color in every dish, no overusing required.
Deeper Flavor: A reading of 93 picrocrocin provides a bold, earthy saffron flavor that can
handle the richest recipes.
Lasting Aroma: With a safranal reading of 40, our saffron's aroma doesn't blossom, it lasts.

Why Share These Results?

Because trust is built in openness. The majority of saffron producers do not post their lab results, or skip testing altogether.  At Eupherbia, we don't merely desire that you're aware you're investing in a saffron that's authentic and pure, we want you to be aware it's chemically better by any measure on the planet.

Our Final Word: Excellence, Scientifically Verified

Eupherbia's saffron is not just a luxury, it's a masterwork measured in a lab. Where others offer mystery in a strand, we offer laboratory-tested facts. It's not just saffron. It's the height of purity, potency, and performance.
