Laccha (whole stem) means authentic and naturalAuthenticity verification: Whole stem saffron (lachha) is considered more authentic and reliable compared to cut stigma (mongra) because it is less susceptible to adulteration or mixing with other substances. Its unique thread-like structure makes it harder to counterfeit.Traceability: Whole stem saffron allows for better traceability. As the threads are connected to the stigma and style, it provides visual evidence of its origin and authenticity.Preservation of properties: The essential oils and aroma compounds that give saffron its distinct flavor and aroma are concentrated in the stigma and style. By retaining the entire thread, whole stem saffron (lachha) preserves these properties better than cut stigma (mongra), ensuring a more authentic saffron experience.Natural appearance: Whole stem saffron retains the natural appearance of saffron threads, which is important for authenticity. The length and shape of the threads provide visual cues that can be easily recognized by experienced saffron consumers.Culinary versatility: Whole stem saffron offers greater versatility in culinary applications. The longer threads are easier to handle and can be used whole or crumbled as needed in various recipes. This allows for better control over the saffron's flavor and color infusion.Symbol of quality: In many culinary traditions, the use of whole stem saffron is considered a symbol of high quality and authenticity. It is often associated with premium saffron varieties and is favored by discerning chefs and saffron connoisseurs.While both whole stem saffron (lachha) and cut stigma (mongra) can be authentic, whole stem saffron is generally perceived as a more reliable and authentic form due to its physical characteristics and the difficulty in adulterating or tampering with the entire thread structure.
