Is it real saffron? Here's how to tell

Saffron is one of the most copied spices in the world. These are simple checks you can do at home with any saffron, including ours.

Shop Mongra saffron
  1. The warm-water test

    Drop a few threads into warm water or milk. Real saffron slowly releases a golden colour over 10–15 minutes while the threads stay red. Dyed fakes turn the water red at once and fade.

  2. Look at the threads

    Mongra threads are deep red from end to end, with a slightly flared, trumpet-shaped tip. Yellow or white ends mean the paler part of the flower is included — a lower grade.

  3. Smell and taste

    Real saffron smells sweet and hay-like, but tastes slightly bitter. If it tastes sweet, it isn't saffron.

  4. Why Mongra

    Mongra is the top Kashmiri grade: only the deep-red upper part of each stigma, separated by hand after the Pampore harvest.

A message from our founder

Born in Kashmir

Qashvor started with a simple thought: Kashmir has something truly special to offer, and its products deserve to be experienced with the same care and pride with which they are created.

Growing up surrounded by the beauty, traditions, and natural richness of Kashmir, I wanted to build something that could represent a part of home beyond the valley. Qashvor is my attempt to do exactly that — bringing together products I believe represent the character and richness of Kashmir, while presenting them through a modern and thoughtful brand.

We are still at the beginning of our journey, and there is much more to come. But one thing will remain constant: our commitment to choosing our products carefully and building Qashvor with honesty, quality, and purpose.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.

— Moin Raja
Founder, Qashvor
