Mongra — pure stigma

Mongra Saffron

Kesar / Zafran

Around 160,000 flowers make a single kilogram, every one picked by hand at dawn before it opens fully. Mongra grade means only the crimson stigma — no yellow style, which has no flavour and is the cheapest way for a seller to add weight.

Start with one gram and run the water test. Nobody should spend four thousand rupees on saffron they have not seen behave.
