The Kashmiri Super Mongra Saffron, known for its deep red color and growth in high altitudes, is considered the most expensive variety of saffron in the world. Besides its rarity, it also offers numerous health benefits when incorporated into regular use. Packed with powerful antioxidants like Crocin, Crocetin, Safranal, and Kaempferol, this spice helps to reduce inflammation and curb appetite. Its antidepressant properties are believed to protect brain cells from oxidative stress and enhance mood. Some studies have also suggested that saffron may possess cancer-fighting properties and aid in treating Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms in women. Additionally, it is thought to act as an Aphrodisiac for individuals taking anti-depressants regularly and can boost immunity levels overall.
Param Kesar™ saffron, derived from the beautiful valleys of Kashmir, is appropriately named after the Sanskrit word for “Supreme” or “The Best”.
Approximately 160 crocus flowers are required to produce 1 gram of our supreme saffron. Each plant has up to four flowers and each flower has three stigmas, each around 25- 30mm long (each stigma). It contains many plant compounds (Crocin and crocetin). As antioxidants, these molecules protect your cells from free radicals and oxidative stress.
The high amount of crocin in Param Kesar™ is what sets it apart from other saffron varieties. Our saffron contains 8.72% Crocin, while others only have 6.82%. Grown at an altitude of 5,000 ft. to 6,000 ft. above sea level, it is the only saffron in the world with this distinctive feature. Our cultivation and harvesting takes place in the Karewas of Jammu and Kashmir, which has obtained a Geographical Indication (GI) tag from the Geographical Indications Registry. The GI tag recognizes products that have specific geographical origins and exceptional qualities and reputation.
