              Kashmiri Saffron

Pure Kashmiri Saffron. It is the onset of September Around the dense streets of Pampore where massive land areas spread boundlessly These arid-looking lands give birth to the most expensive spice flowers and turn this earthy expansion into a lavender canvas Saffron… Handpicked by owners of the land, the crocus flowers are collected in large quantities at the start of the winter season in Kashmir A huge 150000 flowers generate a mere 1 kg of saffron The strands, just 3 in the flowers, are handpicked and collected separately This is a family affair, and each member of the family contributes in separating strands from the flowers. Sorting is done of the wet strands, which are too moist to make a spice, and needs drying later Sorting is mostly done by men of the family, who sit in groups for days together to separate pure threads from superfluous ones. Pure strands are even passed through a sieve to filter any impurities or broken parts. Clean strands then go through winnowing which separates the yellow part from the red ones. Any yellow part left is handpicked with tweezers All the parts of the crocus flower have their own uses, and hence are stored for different purposes Over 15000 families in Kashmir cultivate saffron. Over three generations in some families have been associated with the cultivation of this precious spice.

Why does Kashmiri saffron is the world’s most expensive?

You may still end up wondering exactly why it’s so costly. The answer, in short, is that it’s extremely tricky to reap. The crocus only blossoms during a brief period in the fall. Once a flower blooms, it must be harvested that very same day, because it begins to wilt before long.  Each flower contains only three delicate stigmas, it takes  50,000 flowers to yield one pound of dried saffron. Considering the intensive work needed for a relatively small yield, Saffron is so expensive. and so, we Kashmir Origin team stand here, to try and do justice to the standard and price of this exquisite spice.
