1. About the Product
Kashmiri Saffron, also known as Mongra Kesar, is one of the world’s most exquisite and rarest spices. Grown in the serene valleys of Pampore, Kashmir, it is known for its deep crimson threads, strong aroma, and unmatched purity.
At Kashmir Craft, we offer authentic saffron directly sourced from local Kashmiri farmers, ensuring purity and sustainability.
2. How It's Grown
Saffron is delicately harvested from the flowers of *Crocus Sativus*. Each flower yields just three crimson stigmas. The flowers bloom for a brief period in October, and the entire process—from handpicking to drying—is done manually, which explains saffron's high value.
💡 Did you know? It takes about 75,000 flowers to make just one pound of saffron!
