Kashmiri Saffron (Kesar)
Kashmiri Saffron is regarded as one of the most exquisite and purest forms of saffron available in the world. Harvested from the fertile fields of Pampore, known as the saffron capital of India, this luxurious spice is manually plucked and sun-dried with the utmost care. Kashmiri saffron is easily distinguishable by its deep crimson threads, high crocin content (responsible for its rich color), and intense aroma. This rare spice is not only a culinary treasure but also a symbol of purity, health, and cultural heritage in India.
