Kashmiri Saffron

Kashmiri Saffron is known to be world's best saffron and a rule of thumb, the deeper the colour of Kashmiri saffron threads, the better the quality. Real Kashmiri saffron threads are fine and evenly sized, with a thin yellow tendril on one end and what looks like a flute on the other side. The colour of saffron threads is a deep red. The highest quality saffron threads have the most minimal yellow stem and the highest amount of crocin, one of Saffron's key essential oils.
