Kashmiri Saffron Processing Steps

Step-by-Step Processing of Kashmiri Saffron

1. Hand Picking of Flowers

Saffron flowers are carefully hand-picked early in the morning to preserve freshness and aroma. Mechanical harvesting is avoided to prevent damage.

2. Flower Opening & Stigma Separation

Each flower is gently opened and the red stigmas are separated with precision, ensuring purity and minimal contamination.

3. Thread Cutting (Stigma Trimming)

Excess yellow portions are carefully trimmed, retaining only the finest red saffron threads required for premium quality.

4. Laccha (Thread) Separation

Saffron threads are neatly arranged to maintain uniformity, appearance, and grading standards.

5. Quality-Wise Sorting

Threads are sorted based on color intensity, size, aroma, and overall quality to ensure consistency.

6. Hygienic Drying Process

Drying is done under controlled low-temperature conditions to preserve color strength, aroma, and natural compounds.

7. Quality Inspection

After drying, saffron undergoes inspection to ensure it meets defined quality parameters before packing.

8. Hygienic Packing

Saffron is packed in airtight, food-grade containers under hygienic conditions to protect it from moisture and contamination.

9. Secure Storage

Packed saffron is stored in controlled environments to maintain freshness and shelf stability until dispatch.

10. Storage & Distribution

Products are carefully distributed to domestic and international destinations, ensuring safe handling and timely delivery.
