Kashmiri Saffron - Threads of Tradition and Benefits
Kashmiri Saffron, hailed as the red gold of the Himalayas, symbolizes the world’s most cherished spice. Cultivated in the serene valleys of Kashmir, it is meticulously handpicked by local farmers, honoring centuries-old traditions. This saffron is distinguished by its thicker stigma (threads), rich aroma, and profound flavor, embodying the essence of Kashmir’s unparalleled natural beauty and cultural heritage. Extracted from the purple flower known as crocus sativus, Saffron is renowned as the world’s most expensive spice. Its unique characteristics are attributed to three compounds—crocin, safranal, and picrocrocin—responsible for imparting the deep golden-red hue, distinctive aroma, and lingering sweet taste to saffron.
