Why We
Saffron is known to be the world's most expensive spice. Throughout history, dishonest dealers would adulterate their saffron by adding similar materials for added weight or by dyeing the lower quality saffron strands red, which is the sign of good quality saffron. Lately, there are reports that cough syrups have been found in some saffron and that a synthetic stigma is too difficult to be distinguished from the real stigma being produced and sold at lower prices. Pure saffron contains only the stigma of the Crocus flower with nothing else added. The saffron we sell on this site is procured by highly trusted suppliers that are well known world wide for their quality for many decades.
Saffron Plant
There are only two or three places in the whole
world where saffron grows. Kashmir has the proud privilege of being one
of these places. There are two locations in Kashmir where saffron grows.
One of these two places is Pampore. Pampore is a small town, which is
13 km from Srinagar. The saffron plant is very small and its flower is
the only part which is seen above the ground. The blooming time of this
flower is autumn. Saffron has a unique sweet smell and is used in dyeing
and cooking.
