Saffron is the world’s most expensive spice by weight, for good reason. Each stigma is handpicked from Crocus sativus flowers during the brief autumn harvest. A single kilogram requires the careful processing of over 150,000 flowers.
Kashmiri saffron is universally acknowledged as the world’s finest. Kashmir produces saffron with the deepest colour, the most intense fragrance, and the highest crocin content of any origin globally.
Global demand for premium saffron is growing for culinary, Ayurvedic medicine, and pharmaceutical applications. Saffron is gaining clinical evidence for mood support and cognitive function, and GI-tagged Kashmiri saffron in premium packaging is an ideal natural gifting product for the diaspora retail market.
