Pure Saffron By Siris Limited Company

Pure saffron, or Kesar, is a premium spice from the Crocus sativus flower known for its vibrant color, distinct aroma, and unique flavor. It is used in cooking for dishes like rice and desserts, in traditional medicine, and for cosmetic purposes. High-quality pure saffron is characterized by its all-red threads, natural aroma, and lack of artificial additives, with its high cost attributed to the labor-intensive process of hand-picking and drying.
