Saffron has a long and captivating history in Pampore, a town located in Kashmir, renowned for producing some of the world's finest saffron.
The cultivation of saffron in Pampore is believed to date back to the 3rd century BCE, during the rule of the Mauryan Empire. This precious spice was also familiar to ancient Greeks, Romans, and Persians, who highly valued its unique flavor and medicinal properties.
​
In the 8th century, Persian traders introduced saffron cultivation to Kashmir by bringing the precious bulbs to the region. The favorable climate and fertile soil in Pampore, situated in the valley of the Jhelum River, proved to be ideal for growing saffron. By the 14th century, saffron cultivation had become a crucial part of the local economy, serving as a major source of income for many farmers in the area.
During the Mughal era in the 16th and 17th centuries, saffron production in Pampore reached its pinnacle. The Mughal emperors, known for their appreciation of the spice, invested significantly in saffron cultivation. In fact, the Mughal Emperor Jahangir referred to Pampore as the "Saffron Capital of the World."
​
Over time, saffron production in Pampore encountered various challenges, including drought, pests, and competition from other saffron-producing regions. Nevertheless, Kashmiri farmers persevered, and to this day, Pampore remains one of the world's most significant saffron-growing regions. Saffron from Pampore is renowned for its vibrant color, strong aroma, and distinct flavor, making it highly prized by chefs and food enthusiasts worldwide.
