What Exactly is Organic Saffron?
Saffron is also known as Zaffran or Kesar. It is one of the most precious spices in the world. There have been tales told about saffron all across the world, but most of you would never have seen original saffron. Probably because it is a rare commodity. The spice is known for its value and rich properties such as aroma, color, and taste. And in the general markets, only adulterated varieties or the more common Iranian Saffron is available.
Much different from the cheap threads sold online, Kashmiri Organic Saffron is an exotic spice that looks magnificent to the naked eye. Also, its dull fragrance stimulates the brain instantaneously. If you touch it, you feel eclectic. Kashmir’s Pure Saffron will activate all your senses. Trust us on that.
Kashmiri Saffron is a spice that has both medicinal and vanity values. Saffron, Zaffran, or Kesar, grows in Kashmir, Spain, and Iran. However, the quality of Kashmiri Saffron is considered to be the best. That’s why the price of saffron from Kashmir, Spain, and Iran sees a significant difference.
While Saffron is the most recognized name of this red spice, people often ask, “What is Kesar” or “What is Zaffran”. Nothing more, Kesar is just another name given to saffron.
Types of Saffron
Saffron is of 4 different types:
- Mongra
- Lacha
- Zarda
- Choora
Mongra- IKS
Mongra is the finest quality of saffron that contains red stigmas, picked up by the hand.
At IKS we only sell Mongra Saffron.
Lacha is the second-best variety of saffron which has some yellow stigmas mixed with the red ones.
At IKS We don’t Sell Lacha Variety of Saffron.
Zarda is the saffron with yellow hues. It is the 3rd best variety of saffron.
At IKS We don’t Sell Zarda Variety of Saffron.
Choora 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.
At IKS We don’t Sell Choora Variety of Saffron.
Let customers speak for us
from 100 reviewsIt's been 3 days since my first use of IKS Saffron. I have used it in warm water and honey and other times I would just pinch a bit and chew it up. Either way tastes very good.
It is amazing to watch the brilliant ruby red Saffron turn the cup of water into an almost bright gold color.
About 20 minutes after drinking my first cup of Saffron with honey, I started to notice that I wasn't having the horrible intestinal discomfort and the bad mood that went along with the abdominal pain. Wow !!! I have been using the Saffron everyday since it came in the mail.
I am very grateful and thankful to you all for the best, the purest and the most carefully handled Saffron.
Thank you again IKS, and I will be ordering more very soon for my mother.

very happy with the product.
tested it and it made me happy. Thanks IKS
This is the 2nd buy of this product and we will buy it again. Great quality! Fast delivery!
I was searching for a good quality saffron and my search ended here. The quality is very good. I wanted to gift this to someone whom I like and they liked it very much. I recommend this product. For people who haven't ordered before, you can blindly order one without any problem. The only problem I faced was that IKS team couldn't trace delivery address quite easily as it was a remote location. IKS team was very cooperative and was just a msg away through WhatsApp, much appreciated.
