Kashmiri saffron honey — kesar honey, or kesar shahad (केसर शहद) — is raw single-origin honey from the Acacia and Kikar forests of Kashmir, infused with Mongra saffron from our own family fields in Pampore: half a gram of saffron in every 500 g jar. Nothing else goes in: no sugar, no glucose syrup, no colour and no flavouring, and the saffron threads stay in the jar where you can see them.
The honey is raw: never heated above hive temperature and only coarsely sieved, so it keeps the aroma it had when it left the comb. Steeped with Mongra threads, it slowly takes on a deeper gold and a warm, earthy saffron note over the light floral sweetness of the acacia bloom.
Why the threads matter. Saffron honey is easy to imitate with yellow colour and saffron flavouring. Whole threads you can see and lift out of the jar are the simplest check a buyer has that real saffron went in.
How to use: stir a teaspoon into warm — not boiling — milk or kahwa. Drizzle over toast, yoghurt, oatmeal or kheer. Each 500 g jar holds roughly 30-40 servings.
Storage: keep the jar sealed at room temperature, out of sunlight. Raw honey can granulate over time; stand the jar in warm water to liquefy it. Never microwave honey.

Order on WhatsAppThis is raw Kashmiri honey infused with our own Mongra saffron, with the threads left in the jar. It is not a jar of saffron threads, and it is not plain honey.
Compare price per kilogram and the ingredient line, which should name honey and saffron and nothing else. Visible threads describe what went into the jar; they are not a substitute for a batch test report.
Read the seal, packing date and label. If testing determines your purchase, ask for the report covering the batch you are being sent rather than relying on a general purity slogan.
Kashmiri saffron honey — also called kesar honey or kesar shahad — is raw honey with real saffron threads steeped in it. Ours starts as raw single-origin honey from the Acacia and Kikar forests of Kashmir, never heated, and is infused with Mongra saffron from our own family fields in Pampore. The threads stay in the jar. Nothing else goes in: no sugar, no syrup, no colour and no flavouring.
Real honey and real saffron, and the jar shows you the saffron: whole threads you can see and lift out. Imitation saffron honey gets its gold from colour and its taste from flavouring, and has no threads to show. The honey underneath is raw single-origin acacia bloom, and the ingredient line names honey and saffron and nothing else. What we have not done is commission an NMR test on the honey, so we do not claim a lab result we do not have.
Raw acacia honey — called kikar locally, and often sold as Kashmiri white honey because it is so pale — from the Acacia and Kikar forests of the Kashmir valley, collected by traditional beekeepers and never heated. Acacia is the lightest and mildest of the valley's honeys and slow to crystallise, which is why it carries the saffron well. Our shop jar is this one, with Mongra saffron from our own fields in Pampore steeped in it; plain Kashmiri acacia (white) honey and black honey are available on request — ask on WhatsApp.
Half a gram (0.5 g) of Mongra saffron from our own fields in Pampore goes into every 500 g jar, so about a gram per kilo. At what Mongra saffron sells for, roughly ₹330-360 a gram, that is ₹165-180 of saffron in each 500 g jar, which is most of the difference between saffron honey and plain raw honey. The threads stay in the jar, so you can see them.
Yes, it is still good. Crystallisation is the glucose in raw honey coming out of solution, and heated, heavily filtered honey is processed specifically so that it never happens. Acacia honey is slower to granulate than most because of its high fructose share, so it may stay liquid for a long time. If it does set, stand the sealed jar in a bowl of warm, not boiling, water for fifteen to twenty minutes. Never microwave honey. The saffron threads are unaffected either way.
A teaspoon stirred into warm — not boiling — milk is the classic way: the honey sweetens it and the saffron turns it gold. It also goes into kahwa, over toast, yoghurt, oatmeal or kheer, and anywhere you would use honey and want the saffron to come through. Keep it away from boiling heat, which dulls the aroma of both. A 500 g jar holds roughly 30-40 servings.
Ours is ₹649 for a 500 g jar and ₹1,249 for a kilogram, so the kilo saves ₹49 against two 500 g jars. It costs more than plain raw honey because of the saffron in it: half a gram goes into every 500 g jar, and Kashmiri Mongra saffron sells at roughly ₹330-360 a gram. Saffron honey offered at plain-honey prices is worth asking about — what went into the jar, and how much of it.
Yes. Kesar is the Hindi and Urdu word for saffron and shahad is honey, so kesar honey, kesar shahad (केसर शहद) and saffron honey all mean honey with saffron in it. Zafran is the same spice under its Persian and Kashmiri name. What differs between jars is not the name but what is actually in them: real threads or colour and flavouring.
Not babies: no honey of any kind, saffron honey included, should be given to a child under 12 months old, because honey can carry spores that cause infant botulism. Older children can have it as food, the way they would have any honey — a little in warm milk or on toast.
No sugar is added to ours, but honey itself is mostly natural sugars — fructose and glucose — so a spoon of saffron honey counts as sugar in your diet the same way any honey does. If you are managing diabetes or blood sugar, ask your doctor how much honey suits you; the saffron does not change that.
Sealed and kept at room temperature out of sunlight, honey keeps for a very long time; use it within the best-before date on the jar. Crystallising is not spoiling. What to watch for is moisture: keep the lid tight and use a dry spoon, because honey that takes in water can ferment.
