Saffron crocus fields in Pampore, Kashmir at dawn
Our Heritage

The Story of Mongra

Deep in the Karewa plateau of Pampore - just south of Srinagar - the saffron crocus has bloomed every October for centuries. Kashmir produces around 90% of India's saffron, and Pampore is its centre. Its terroir is irreplaceable: clay-rich, well-drained soil, sharp autumn nights, and dawn mists from Dal Lake.

Our family has farmed saffron in Pampore for three generations. Saffron of Kashmir was founded in 2026 to sell that saffron direct. We sell Mongra grade exclusively - only the deep-red stigma tips, separated by hand from the yellow style.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is delivery?

Delivery takes 3-5 business days in India, and 4-6 days for the UAE, the Middle East and the rest of the world. We send your order once you confirm it on WhatsApp. Delivery is free in India on orders over INR 4000. There is no minimum order. Customs duties or import charges, where they apply, are payable by the recipient.

How do I place an order?

You order on WhatsApp, not through a checkout. Tap any "Order on WhatsApp" button and the message is pre-filled with the product name. We reply to confirm your saffron, delivery address, and payment. There is no minimum order.

How do I know the saffron is genuine?

Our saffron has been independently tested to ISO 3632 Category I for crocin, picrocrocin, and safranal, the three compounds behind saffron's colour, taste, and aroma, at a NABL-accredited laboratory. We send the lab report on request, and you can check the threads yourself with three simple at-home tests.

How should I store saffron?

Store saffron in an airtight tin, away from light, heat, and humidity. Kept this way, Mongra saffron holds its full colour and aroma for up to 36 months.

How much saffron should I use in a dish?

Use 8-15 threads for most dishes serving 2-4 people. Always bloom them first in warm (not boiling) liquid for 10-20 minutes to draw out the colour and aroma. See our recipes for exact amounts per dish.

Do you deliver internationally?

Yes. Delivery takes 3-5 business days in India, and 4-6 days for the UAE, the Middle East and the rest of the world. Message us on WhatsApp with your location for the rate. Customs duties or import charges, where they apply, are payable by the recipient.

Where does your saffron come from?

All our saffron is Mongra grade grown in Pampore, in Kashmir's Pulwama district. The saffron comes from our own family's fields in Pampore, and we take only the deep-red stigma tips.

How much does Kashmiri Mongra saffron cost?

Our Mongra saffron starts at AED 65 for a 2g tin, AED 160 for 5g, and AED 300 for 10g. Every tin is the same saffron, lab tested to ISO 3632 Category I; the larger tins give the best price per gram. Prices show in your local currency on the site.

Purity guaranteed. Have any tin independently tested at an accredited lab. If it does not meet ISO 3632 Category I, we refund the purchase in full, including the cost of the test. This applies within 90 days of purchase, opened or unopened, and is separate from our returns policy, which covers unopened tins within 7 days.

The 2025 harvest lab report is available on request.
