You can use it in a lot of things. Meat and rice dishes, baked goods, desserts, spice blends, you can even put a few strands in your tea if you like.

You can still mostly use it like saffron but it won't taste the same and you'll need more of it.

It just like Tumeric but it makes things red instead of yellow.

Its a richer colour hence why it is more expensive

I was thinking it had to be some sort of substitute. If you buy saffron here it come in those same little glass jars but it's packed in a little plastic bag inside and there are only 2 pinches - and it costs twice as much as any other jar filled with herbs or spices.

Yeah I was about to say if you had that much saffron it'd be like $300 worth or some poo poo

looking deeper into the care package, there appears to also be some of the real stuff

A good way to check if this is real saffron is to eat a few spoonfuls of it. If your skin doesn't turn yellow, you don't get nausea, dizziness and bloody diarrhea - or if you don't start bleeding from the eyes, nose and lips? You got scammed!

e: Actually it takes 5 grams to cause this kind of poisoning, which is more than most people can fit in one hand. 20 grams is lethal.

What with that and the pubic-rice recipe, this thread is turning out to be surprisingly educational.
