Hand-harvested in the pristine valleys of Pampore, each delicate stigma is picked at dawn, sun-dried, and sorted by master artisans to preserve its unmatched aroma, color, and potency. This saffron carries the pride of Kashmir’s heritage — intensely fragrant, richly hued, and unmistakably pure.

Key Features & Benefits

• Certified GI-Tagged Authenticity: Zaytoon Kashmir’s saffron is GI registered, ensuring it meets stringent quality and origin standards.
• Deep Crimson & Rich Aroma: Exhibits a deep maroon-red tone with golden tips. When infused in warm liquid, it releases a vivid amber hue and a floral, honeyed aroma.
• High Crocin & Safranal Content: Delivers superior coloring strength (crocin) as well as aroma (safranal) — meaning you need just a pinch for culinary impact.
• Hand-Sorted, Zero Additives: Each thread is inspected by hand; no adulterants, no artificial dyes, no hidden fillers.
• Subtle Taste with Health Appeal: Mildly sweet, slightly earthy, with antioxidant properties and traditional medicinal uses.

Usage Suggestions

• Culinary Delight: Add to biryanis, pulao, kheer, paan, or desserts — steep in warm water or milk for 10–15 minutes before adding.
