Saffron, dry fruits and honey from the karewas of Pampore
The Heritage Kashmir is a saffron-growing family in Pampore, Kashmir, selling its own ISO 3632 Grade I Mongra saffron, Kashmiri dry fruits and honey direct across India.
Hand-picked in Pampore, ISO 3632 Grade I tested by IIKSTC, sealed at source — from the same fields that two Prime Ministers, the Indian Army and the national press have honoured.

How do I know your Kashmiri saffron is real and pure?+
Read the lab report: the IIKSTC Quality Evaluation Laboratory report — ISO 3632 Grade I, from the NABL-accredited Government of J&K saffron lab in Pampore — is published in full on our Lab reports page, with every value. We are an FSSAI-licensed food business (licence 11022470000019), and we grow the saffron ourselves — our own family fields in Pampore, sorted and sealed by us. Then do the home water-bloom test: genuine saffron releases its crimson colour slowly (over minutes, not instantly), the threads stay whole, and it smells of honey and hay, never bitter or chemical.
Is this Kashmiri or Iranian saffron?+
100% Kashmiri Mongra — the all-red stigma variety grown in our own family fields in Pampore. We never blend it or re-pack cheaper Iranian saffron. Kashmiri Mongra is prized worldwide for its deep crocin (colour), safranal (aroma) and thicker threads.
What does ISO 3632 Grade I mean?+
ISO 3632 is the international laboratory standard that grades saffron on colour (crocin), aroma (safranal) and flavour (picrocrocin). Grade I — Category I — is the highest band, and it is the standard our Mongra is grown and hand-sorted to: all-red stigma, no yellow style. The grade is measured by a laboratory: our saffron was tested by the IIKSTC Quality Evaluation Laboratory in Pampore (NABL-accredited) and graded ISO 3632 Grade I, and the full report is published on our Lab reports page. Our FSSAI licence is 11022470000019, and the family works with the Directorate of Agriculture, Kashmir and the India International Kashmir Saffron Trade Centre (IIKSTC), the government saffron park at Dussu, Pampore.
How do I do the water test at home?+
Drop 4–5 threads into warm (not hot) water or milk and wait. Real saffron sinks, keeps its shape, and slowly bleeds a golden-crimson colour over 10–15 minutes — the water turns yellow-gold, never red. Fake or dyed saffron colours the water instantly and the threads crumble or lose colour.
How much saffron should I use, and how long does a jar last?+
A pinch — 8–10 threads — is enough for most dishes: biryani, kheer, kahwa or badam milk. Steep the threads in a little warm milk or water for 10 minutes first to release the full colour and aroma. A 5g jar holds roughly 2,250 threads — months of regular use for most kitchens.
How should I store saffron to keep it fresh?+
Keep the jar sealed, away from light, heat and moisture — a cool, dark cupboard is ideal, not the fridge. Stored well, Grade I saffron holds its colour and aroma for over two years. Our jars are premium glass and tamper-sealed — keep them in a dark cupboard, because light fades saffron.
What are the benefits of Kashmiri saffron?+
Traditionally valued for mood, digestion and skin, saffron is rich in antioxidants like crocin and safranal. It’s used in warm milk for skin glow, in kahwa for winter warmth, and a few threads a day is the usual culinary amount. For medical or pregnancy use, please consult your doctor.
Why is genuine Kashmiri saffron more expensive?+
Real Kashmiri Mongra is one of the world’s rarest spices — hand-harvested flower by flower, with roughly 150,000 flowers needed for a single kilo. You’re paying for a named grower who is accountable for the harvest, not a label. Suspiciously cheap “Kashmiri” saffron is almost always blended, dyed or imported.
How is it delivered? Is cash on delivery available?+
We ship across India via DTDC, tamper-sealed and carefully packed to avoid breakage, usually dispatched within 24–48 hours. Paying online gets ₹60 delivery on every order and priority dispatch, by DTDC Express (7–8 days) or DTDC Airmax (3–5 days). Cash on delivery is available for a ₹99 delivery fee (estimated 7–8 days) where DTDC offers it for your PIN code; we pack it once you confirm the order on WhatsApp. For bulk or gifting, message us on WhatsApp.
