Saffron threads are among the most treasured spices in the world, prized for their distinctive aroma, vibrant golden hue, and rich flavour that elevates both culinary dishes and herbal tonics. Known in India as pure kesar, these precious red threads are derived from the dried stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower. Each delicate strand carries complex aroma compounds and pigments that make this spice a cherished ingredient in kitchens and wellness traditions alike.
