Kashmiri saffron, known for its vibrant red threads and unique flavor, is a prized spice grown in the region's high-altitude fields. It thrives in the rich soil and cool climate of Kashmir, which contributes to its exceptional quality and aroma. Harvested by hand from the delicate crocus flowers, each saffron thread is carefully dried to preserve its potency. Renowned for its rich color and medicinal properties, it’s a key ingredient in traditional dishes and cultural rituals. The saffron trade is deeply intertwined with the heritage and economy of the Kashmir Valley.
