The Story
Every October, our family walks into the purple saffron fields of Pampore before sunrise. Each flower is picked by hand, and only its three deep-red threads are kept. It takes about 1.5 lakh flowers to make one kilo. We dry the threads slowly, the traditional way, and send them for testing and packing at IIKSTC, Pampore, run by the Department of Agriculture, Govt of J&K. What reaches you is kesar from our own soil, not from a trader's warehouse.

FAQs
How do I check if saffron is original?
Drop 2-3 threads in warm water. Original kesar slowly releases golden-yellow colour while the thread stays red. Fake saffron bleeds red colour instantly.
Why is Kashmiri saffron costlier?
Kashmir saffron grows only in a small area like Pampore, is hand-picked, and has longer, darker threads with stronger aroma.
How long will 1 gram last?
Using 4-5 threads a day, 1 gram lasts about 1-2 months.
