  1. false saffron

    False saffron is a term often used to refer to herbs and spices that resemble, and are sometimes sold as, true saffron, but that do not provide the same culinary or medicinal benefits. These can include turmeric, safflower, or inexpensive strands of crocus flowers, none of which replicate the unique flavor, aroma, and coloring properties of true saffron, derived from the crocus sativus flower. False saffron is usually much cheaper, but it can be fraudulent and potentially harmful when mislabeled or misrepresented as true saffron.
