Yep, you do have to be careful that you do not get the wrong product, I
guess. For those who don't know the difference (and in their defence,
Saffron is not yet a "common" kitchen staple in most countries) any
reddish-yellow flower stamen may look like saffron. Always check the
ingredients list (assuming you can read the language).
