How do you know when saffron is expired?
An excellent way to tell if the spice is still usable is to rub a small amount of it between your fingers and give it a whiff. If the aroma is still strong and the flavor robust, the saffron is still usable. But if the spice has lost its smell, it's time to discard the saffron.
