Kishtwar Gucchi Kesar: The Himalayan Saffron

Kishtwar Gucchi Kesar, a premium saffron from Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar region, is prized for its deep red threads, rich aroma, and vibrant flavor. Grown at an altitude of 5,351 feet, its quality is enhanced by the region’s unique climate and soil.

Harvested by hand from Crocus sativus flowers, this saffron is labor-intensive to produce, making it rare and highly valued. In cooking, it adds color, fragrance, and depth to dishes. It’s also revered in traditional medicine for its healing properties.

More than a spice, Kishtwar saffron is a symbol of heritage and purity, sought after by chefs and connoisseurs worldwide.
