This Grade I saffron (Crocus sativus L.), sourced from the agro-ecological zone of Pampore, Kashmir, represents the highest category under ISO 3632 standards for saffron classification. Cultivated at altitudes of 1,600–1,800 meters in loamy soils rich in organic matter, the stigmas are harvested manually and dried under controlled conditions to preserve bioactive integrity.

The secondary metabolites present in it are responsible for saffron’s therapeutic and sensory properties:

• Crocin (a diester of crocetin) exhibits potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective effects, contributing to neuroprotection and vision health.

• Picrocrocin, a monoterpene glycoside, imparts bitterness and is a precursor to safranal during thermal degradation.

• Safranal, a volatile monoterpenoid aldehyde, has demonstrated anxiolytic, antidepressant, and anticonvulsant properties in preclinical studies.

1. Antioxidant-Rich: Contains crocin, safranal, and kaempferol—powerful antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and cellular damage.

2. Mood Regulation: Shown to improve symptoms of mild to moderate depression by modulating serotonin and dopamine pathways.

3. Neuroprotective: Enhances memory and protects neurons, with potential benefits in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

4. PMS Relief: Reduces premenstrual symptoms through hormonal and neurotransmitter balance.

5. Eye Health: Crocin supports retinal function and may slow progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

6. Cardiovascular Support: Improves blood pressure, cholesterol, and endothelial function via anti-inflammatory effects.

7. Anti-Cancer Potential: Inhibits tumor cell growth and induces apoptosis in preclinical models.

8. Saffron can promote relaxation and improve sleep quality, potentially reducing insomnia.

9. Skin Benefits: Used topically for its anti-inflammatory and UV-protective properties.
