Crimson Gold Edition Saffron is a high-quality Kashmiri Mongra Saffron that has been tried and tested by thousands across the country. It has an unquestionable reputation of being among the best available in the market and online. The unrelenting characteristics it possesses are the hard work and sweat of farmers associated with Crimson who work tirelessly to magnify its already prevalent qualities. The farmers make sure that conditions required for resulting in quality saffron are maintained.
No Pesticides: –
Crimson Gold Edition Saffron is grown naturally using saffron corms, which are carefully planted deep into the soil. Importantly, this process is carried out without the use of deadly pesticides. As a result, the saffron remains 100% organic and completely free from harmful chemicals. Moreover, this natural approach helps preserve both the purity and quality of the final product. It can be consumed by people who are cautious about the quality of food they eat. The pesticide residue left in saffron degrades its standard and is available locally in the market.
Low Sunlight: –
Gold Edition Saffron is grown under limited sunlight; ideally, it thrives beneath a Chinar tree where the amount of light is optimal. As a result, this ensures that the coloring strength of the saffron threads is well maintained. On the other hand, exposure to high-intensity sunlight causes the flowers to become droopy. Consequently, this reduces the overall quality of the saffron.
Fertile Land: –
Crimson Gold Edition Saffron is grown in the fertile lands of Pampore. Notably, Pampore’s soil possesses all the essential characteristics required for cultivating the finest saffron. For instance, it contains loamy soil (a mixture with a high percentage of sand and silt, and very little clay). In addition, the soil maintains an acidic pH value ranging between 6.3 to 8.3. Furthermore, it is dry land with a very low moisture content, which is ideal for saffron growth. These factors enumerate the superior quality of Crimson Saffron.
Harvesting: –
Crimson Gold Edition Saffron is harvested manually without the use of machinery. The farmers go early into the fields working relentlessly plucking the whole flowers from which the saffron threads are picked individually with hands later.
Post-Harvesting: –
The raw saffron is then dried using dryers at a certain temperature without damaging or impacting the quality. The dried saffron is the raw form of saffron called lachha saffron consisting of Mongra and Zarda. The bottom zarda part is removed manually resulting in pure Mongra Crimson Gold Edition Saffron.
