Choose I SAY ORGANIC For Pure Kashmiri Saffron Online
Saffron is one of the most important and sought-after spices in India, with its use in a variety of Indian dishes. It is also one of the most expensive spices in the world, due to its very labour-intensive method of harvesting. The immense time and effort that go into harvesting pure saffron are the reasons for the high saffron cost, rich flavour and popularity among many Southeast Asian countries. Kashmir is one of the main hubs of saffron harvesting, which is where we source our saffron from. You can trust that I Say Organic follows high-quality harvesting methods and procures only the best organic saffron.
