A Thread of Kashmiri Tradition
For generations, saffron has been the crown of Kashmiri kitchens — stirred into kahwa on cold evenings, folded into festive rice and wazwan, and warmed in milk. Each deep-red thread carries the colour, warmth and fragrance that make it one of the world's most treasured spices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this pure Kashmiri Mongra saffron?
Yes — these are pure, hand-selected Mongra (cut filamentous) saffron threads, sourced from Pampore in Kashmir and freshness-sealed for aroma and colour.
What does "ISO 3632 Grade 1" mean?
ISO 3632 is the international standard that grades saffron by colour (crocin), flavour (picrocrocin) and aroma (safranal). A representative sample of our saffron was tested at a NABL-accredited laboratory and met the Grade 1 (highest grade) requirements. The result relates to the tested sample.
How much saffron should I use?
A little goes a long way — 4–5 threads soaked in warm milk or water is enough for most dishes and drinks. Steeping first releases the fullest colour and aroma.
How should I store it?
Keep the threads in an airtight container away from light, heat and moisture to preserve their colour and fragrance.
Do you offer wholesale or bulk saffron?
Yes. We supply wholesale and export-quality saffron at trade pricing. Message us on WhatsApp for a bulk quote.
