Note that kasubha has always been erroneously translated into English as “saffron” — it is actually safflower, though one could say that kasubha is “imitation saffron” or something like that. Even just the low price point should clue one in on the fact that kasubha is not saffron.
An example of kasubha being labeled and sold as saffron is the one by Sunrise Foods and by Tropics in the United States. The retail price is between $1.20 and $2 per ounce in the United States. That price alone tells you it’s not real saffron.
