Kashmiri Saffron 5g (Saffron Kashmeri) | Premium Grade Whole Strands

Saffron is the most coveted spice on earth — and few places produce it as beautifully as the valleys of Kashmir, where our strands are grown and hand-harvested. It takes the delicate stigmas of around 150 crocus flowers to yield a single gram, each one picked by hand. That painstaking craft is why true saffron has been treasured by emperors and cooks alike for centuries.

Our Kashmiri saffron is offered as whole strands — never powdered, blended or bulked out — so its quality is there for you to see. Look for the deep crimson threads, breathe in the unmistakable honeyed, hay-sweet aroma, and watch a mere pinch bloom into a luminous golden hue.

The ritual

Steep a small pinch in a little warm milk or water for ten to fifteen minutes to awaken its colour and fragrance, then fold it through biryani and pilau rice, slow-cooked curries, delicate desserts such as kheer and kulfi, or a simple, soothing cup of saffron tea.
