What is Kashmiri Saffron (Kesar)?

Kashmiri saffron, also known as Mongra Kesar, is one of the finest varieties of saffron in the world. It is grown mainly in Pampore, Kashmir, and is known for its deep red strands, strong aroma, and high color-giving properties (crocin content).

Unlike lower-grade saffron, pure Kashmiri saffron contains only the top red part of the stigma, making it richer in flavor, fragrance, and effectiveness.
