Kashmiri Kesar is a guide to the “red gold” of Kashmir — saffron grown on the karewa plateaus of Pampore.
Real Kashmiri kesar is rare and expensive, which is why the market is full of dyed threads and fake “saffron”. Our goal is simple: help you understand how genuine saffron is grown, how to test it at home, how the grades differ, and which brands are worth your money.
