Kashmiri Mongra Saffron | Pure & Direct from Farmers

Kashmiri saffron, also known as Kesar, comes in three varieties: Laccha, Mongra, and Zarda. Mongra saffron is renowned for its intense red colour, sweet earthy fragrance, and exceptional quality, making it the most expensive of the three. Hand-harvested in the perfect climate conditions of Pampore, Kashmir, Mongra saffron stands out due to its labour-intensive production and rich pigmentation.

Each saffron flower contains only three delicate stigmas, which are carefully handpicked and dried to preserve the distinctive flavour and vibrant hue. This painstaking process is what makes Mongra saffron so valuable and sought after.
