There are only two or three places in the whole world where saffron grows. Kashmir has the proud privilege of being one of these places. There’s only 1 location in Kashmir where saffron grows & that location is Pampore.
Pampore is a small town, which is 13 km from Srinagar. The saffron plant is very small and its flower is the only part which is seen above the ground. The blooming time of this flower is autumn. Saffron has a unique sweet rich aroma.
The botanical name of Saffron is Crocus Sativus. The purple coloured flowers appear just above the ground. The Orange stigmas of the saffron plant are harvested as saffron and used as a flavoring and coloring agent in various recipes.

Why our Customers Love 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.
