Why Gujarat Loves Kashmiri Saffron, The Secret Ingredient in Your Favorite Sweets & Dishes

If you’re a true Gujarati, you know that food isn’t just about eating—it’s about celebration! From the rich kesar-infused Basundi to the heavenly Shrikhand, saffron (or kesar) holds a special place in every Gujarati kitchen. But did you know that the best Kashmiri saffron can take your favorite sweets and dishes to a whole new level?

At Crimson, we are fourth-generation Kashmiri saffron growers, bringing the purest, most authentic kesar straight from the fields of Pampore, Kashmir, to Gujarat’s most flavorful kitchens. And trust us, once you try real Kashmiri Mongra Saffron, you’ll never settle for anything less!

Gujaratis & Kesar: A Love Story That’s Been Brewing for Centuries

Gujarati food and saffron go together like garba and dandiya—inseparable! Whether it’s the royal Kesar Penda of Surat, the rich Mohanthal from Ahmedabad, or the soul-soothing saffron-infused Fada Lapsi, kesar is the secret behind that perfect color, aroma, and taste.

And let’s not forget the early morning Kesar Chai, the Navratri fasting recipes, and the wedding-special Kesar Badam Milk that every Gujarati swears by! But here’s the real question—are you using the best saffron?

The Problem: Most Gujaratis Are Using Fake or Low-Quality Saffron

Let’s be honest—most kesar sold in local markets or online is either fake, adulterated, or mixed with chemicals. Many brands sell cheap Iranian or Spanish saffron, which doesn’t even compare to pure Kashmiri Mongra Kesar in terms of color, taste, and aroma.

How do you know if your kesar is real or fake?

✅ Real Kashmiri Saffron: Deep red strands, strong aroma, and a slightly bitter taste when raw.
❌ Fake or Low-Quality Saffron: Yellow or orange strands, mild fragrance, and dissolves too quickly in water.

If you’re using ordinary kesar, your Basundi, Shrikhand, and Kesar Jalebi are missing out on the magic!
