Product Overview of Harud Kashmiri Mongra Saffron

Our Harud Kashmiri Mongra Saffron comes from Pampore, Kashmir, the home of India’s GI-tagged saffron. Original Kashmiri Saffron is grown high in the mountains at 1,600–1,800 m. It develops thick, deep-red stigmas with a bold aroma, rich colour, and a warm, honey-floral taste that shows up in just a few strands.

Every thread of saffron is handpicked at dawn, when the saffron flowers are most fragrant. The Kashmiri saffron strands are then sun-dried and finished with Kashmir’s careful “tail-cutting” craft, so you get only the best red tips, no yellow, no fillers. We keep it 100% pure and unprocessed: no additives, no dyes, no preservatives. Just original Kashmiri Mongra saffron, the way it is meant to be.

In Kashmir, saffron is not only a spice, it is a piece of culture. You will find it in everyday kitchens and festive meals, in tilak and pooja rituals, and even in simple beauty rituals for a natural glow. Around the world, it is loved for its traditional wellness uses and natural antioxidants.

It is a rare, carefully grown spice that stands for purity, quality, and the aroma of Kashmir. This is the best quality of Kashmiri saffron online.

This is a vegetarian product.

Quick Purity Tests of Kashmiri Saffron at Home

• Water test: Colour appears slowly; the water turns golden, not instantly red.
• Rub test: Kashmiri saffron strands stay springy and release aroma; fakes crumble or stain your fingers.
