Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best grade of Kashmiri saffron?
Mongra saffron is considered the best grade of Kashmiri saffron. It contains only the deep-red stigma threads with no yellow style attached, giving it the highest crocin content and most intense colour and flavour. Lachha saffron is the next grade and retains some yellow style. Both are authentic kesar from Kashmir — choose Mongra for maximum potency.
How do I know your saffron is genuine?
Every batch of Saffron Town saffron is independently tested to ISO 3632 standards. You can download the lab report for your batch directly from our Lab Reports page.
How to store saffron?
Store saffron in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place. Avoid heat, light, and moisture — a kitchen cupboard away from the stove works well. Properly stored, saffron keeps its potency for up to two years. Do not refrigerate or freeze, as condensation can damage the threads.
How much saffron per day is safe?
For culinary use, a few threads (roughly 15–30 mg) per day is typical and considered safe. Clinical studies on mood support have used 30 mg of standardized saffron extract daily. Saffron in culinary amounts is generally well tolerated; higher medicinal doses may cause side effects. Consult a healthcare provider before taking saffron as a supplement.
What does GI tag mean for saffron?
The Geographical Indication (GI) tag certifies that saffron was grown in a specific region — in this case, Kashmir — using traditional methods. Kashmir saffron has a GI tag because its unique soil, altitude, and climate produce threads with distinct chemical profiles. GI-tagged saffron is traceable to its origin and meets defined quality standards.
What is the difference between Mongra and Lachha saffron?
Mongra saffron consists of only the deep-red stigma threads with no yellow style attached, making it the purest and most potent grade. Lachha saffron retains some yellow style, which dilutes its intensity slightly. Both are authentic Kashmiri saffron — Mongra is for those who want maximum colour and flavour.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
