Harvested just once a year from late October until mid-November, Kashmir’s saffron is mostly grown in the tiny,picturesque hamlets around Pampore, also known as Saffron town of Kashmir. The saffron fields are located in South Kashmir’s Pulwama district, central Kashmir’s Budgam and some peripheries of Srinagar. The flowers have 3 stigma’s, which ultimately becomes the most expensive spice called Saffron.
