How saffron quality is measured

Saffron has its own international standard, which defines three key figures. Crocin stands for color strength, picrocrocin for the bitter taste, and safranal for the aroma. Measurement is based on how strongly a solution absorbs light of a specific wavelength, and this determines the trade grade.

This is not an end in itself: saffron is one of the most frequently adulterated spices of all. It is often mixed with safflower, turmeric, or colored corn silk, and fortifying it with sugar or salt solutions is also well known. With a standardized extract such as SAFFR'ACTIV®, the key values are available for each batch.

Shatavari is an asparagus

Asparagus racemosus belongs to the same genus as field-grown garden asparagus. Instead of thick spears, however, it forms a climbing, thorny shrub with fine, needle-like structures that look like leaves but are botanically modified shoots.

The tuberous storage roots are used, and one plant produces many of them; the name can be translated as one hundred roots. Harvesting takes place after several years, after which the roots are peeled, cut, and dried.

Fenugreek smells like maple syrup

Trigonella foenum-graecum is a legume, and its species name means Greek hay. The seeds' distinctive smell comes from a single compound called sotolon, which also gives maple syrup its aroma and creates the base note in curry blends.

Sotolon is extremely aromatic and is partly excreted unchanged. After eating larger amounts of fenugreek, sweat or urine may therefore smell like maple syrup or curry for a while. This is harmless, but surprising if you are not expecting it.

Two lesser-known plants

Angelica sinensis, sold as Dong Quai, is an umbellifer and is therefore related to carrot, celery, and the European angelica. It is cultivated in the mountain regions of China; the root is harvested in autumn of the third year, after which it is dried over smoke or warm air.

Damiana, Turnera diffusa, is a small, aromatic shrub from Mexico and Central America, and its leaves are used. According to today’s botanical classification, it belongs to the passionflower family and is therefore a distant relative of the passionflower.
