Priya M.

5g Mongra Saffron
I've been buying saffron for 20 years and always worried about getting fake kesar. With Saffron Town I finally found pure Kashmiri saffron I can trust,the colour it gives to rice is incomparable. You can tell immediately this is original Kashmiri saffron and not something mixed with turmeric or dye. Will never buy from anywhere else.

Ananya R.

10g Mongra Saffron
My gynaecologist suggested I start taking kesar during pregnancy from the 5th month onward. I was very particular about finding saffron that was genuinely pure,I didn't want anything adulterated going into my body. Saffron Town's lab certificate gave me complete peace of mind. The kashmiri kesar arrived beautifully packed and the threads are deep crimson. I make warm kesar milk every night and it has been wonderful.

Farah K.

5g Mongra Saffron
I started drinking kesar milk every morning after reading about the benefits and wanted to make sure I was using quality saffron. The difference with Saffron Town is immediately obvious,even 4–5 threads turn the milk a rich golden colour within minutes. I've noticed better sleep and my skin looks noticeably brighter. The kesar milk benefits people talk about are real, but only if the saffron itself is genuine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy 100% pure Kashmiri saffron online in India?
Buy pure Kashmiri Mongra kesar directly from Saffron Town at www.saffron.town/shop/saffron. Every batch is farm-direct from Pampore, ISO 3632 lab-tested, GI-tagged, and ships across India with a money-back purity guarantee. No middlemen, no old stock.
What is the price of pure Kashmiri saffron in India?
Pure Kashmiri Mongra saffron from Saffron Town starts at ₹650 for a 1g tester pack (2g at ₹1,299) and scales to ₹26,499 for 50g. Effective rates reflect premium Grade A++ GI-tagged Kashmiri Mongra—typically roughly ₹530–₹650 per gram depending on pack size; anything priced far below authentic Kashmir benchmarks is almost certainly adulterated or re-packaged non-Kashmir saffron.
Is Saffron Town's kesar genuine Kashmiri saffron?
Yes. Every Saffron Town batch is grown in Pampore, Kashmir — the only GI-tagged saffron region in India — and is independently tested to ISO 3632 standards with crocin >250. Lab certificates are public at www.saffron.town/lab-reports. We also offer a full money-back guarantee if adulteration is ever found.
What is the difference between Mongra and Kashmiri saffron?
Mongra is a grade, not a region. Mongra refers to the highest grade of saffron — only deep-red stigma threads, no yellow style, highest crocin. Kashmiri saffron is the origin, protected by India's GI tag. Saffron Town sells Mongra-grade Kashmiri saffron — the two terms combined describe the finest kesar available in India.
Is Kashmiri saffron better than Iranian saffron?
Kashmiri saffron generally has a higher crocin content (250+) than most Iranian saffron, giving it a deeper colour and stronger aroma. Iran produces far more volume (about 90% of world supply), but Kashmir's GI-tagged Mongra is the premium grade prized in Indian kitchens and traditional medicine.
How do I know if saffron is real or fake?
Place 2–3 strands in warm (not hot) milk or water. Real saffron slowly releases a golden colour over 10–15 minutes and the strand stays red. Fake saffron (coloured corn silk or dyed threads) bleeds an instant neon yellow/orange and the strand loses its colour. Real Kashmiri saffron also has a distinctive honey-hay aroma, never chemical.
