Saffron crocus fields in Pampore, Kashmir at dawn
Our Heritage

The Story of Mongra

Deep in the Karewa plateau of Pampore - just south of Srinagar - the saffron crocus has bloomed every October for centuries. Kashmir produces around 90% of India's saffron, and Pampore is its centre. Its terroir is irreplaceable: clay-rich, well-drained soil, sharp autumn nights, and dawn mists from Dal Lake.

Our family has farmed saffron in Pampore for three generations. We source Mongra grade exclusively - only the deep-red stigma tips, separated by hand from the yellow style.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is delivery in the UAE?

Delivery anywhere in the UAE takes up to 48 hours. We dispatch your order after you confirm it on WhatsApp, and delivery is free on orders over AED 120. There is no minimum order.

How do I place an order?

You order on WhatsApp, not through a checkout. Tap any "Order on WhatsApp" button and the message is pre-filled with the product name. We reply to confirm your saffron, delivery address, and payment. There is no minimum order.

How do I know the saffron is genuine?

Our saffron has been independently tested to ISO 3632 Category I for crocin, picrocrocin, and safranal, the three compounds behind saffron's colour, taste, and aroma, at a NABL-accredited laboratory. We send the lab report on request, and you can check the threads yourself with three simple at-home tests.

How should I store saffron?

Store saffron in an airtight tin, away from light, heat, and humidity. Kept this way, Mongra saffron holds its full colour and aroma for up to 36 months.

How much saffron should I use in a dish?

Use 8-15 threads for most dishes serving 2-4 people. Always bloom them first in warm (not boiling) liquid for 10-20 minutes to draw out the colour and aroma. See our recipes for exact amounts per dish.

Do you deliver outside the UAE?

Yes. We ship worldwide from Kashmir. Across the Middle East and the UAE within 48 hours, PAN India in 3-5 days (free over INR 4000), and the rest of the world in 4-6 days (free over USD 120). Message us on WhatsApp with your location for the rate.

Where does your saffron come from?

All our saffron is Mongra grade grown in Pampore, in Kashmir's Pulwama district. Kashmir produces around 90% of India's saffron. We work directly with Pampore farming families, buying only the deep-red stigma tips. The saffron comes from our own family's farming in Pampore.

Our Mongra saffron starts at AED 65 for a 2g tin, AED 160 for 5g, and AED 300 for 10g. Every tin is the same ISO 3632 Category I saffron; the larger tins give the best price per gram. Prices show in your local currency on the site.
