Kishtwar Saffron:

The Kishtwar region of Jammu & Kashmir, nestled in the western Himalayas, is one of the rarest saffron-growing zones in the world.

Here, glacial waters, high-altitude air, and mineral-rich soils combine to produce saffron with exceptional strength in crocin (color), safranal (aroma), and picrocrocin (flavor).

Unlike commercial farms, cultivation here is done in small family-owned plots with immense care and no chemical interference.
