Different Types / Grades of Kashmir Saffron
Saffron is of 4 different types:
Mongra / Mogra
Lacha / Lachha
Zarda
Choora / Chura
Mongra / Mogra is the finest quality of saffron that contains red stigmas, picked up by the hand. At IKS, we only sell Best Top Quality Pure Original 100% Organic Kashmir Mongra / Mogra Saffron.
Lacha / Lachha is the second variety of saffron which has some yellow stigmas mixed with the red ones.
Zarda is the saffron with yellow hues. It is the third variety of saffron.
Choora / Chura is the cheapest variety of saffron. It is almost like dust, or rather say it is the residue left after picking the finest variety of organic saffron.
