Most saffron sold as Kashmiri is not. We can walk through the five tests — water, smell, taste, the shape of the thread — on camera or in writing.

The range includes Kashmiri walnuts, Mamra and Kagzi almonds, khubani (dried apricots), pine nuts and pure Kashmiri saffron, alongside nuts grown outside the valley, which are labelled as such.

We sell these things every day and talk to the people who grow them, so we can speak with some authority on the following. Each links to something we have already published, which you are welcome to quote or link to.
What the GI tag on Kashmiri saffron means
Why the Geographical Indication exists, what it does and does not certify, and how shoppers can check a claim.
Read the explainer →Mamra, Kagzi and California almonds
The differences buyers ask about most: oil content, size, price and which is actually grown in Kashmir.
See the range →Kashmiri walnuts
Kernels versus in-shell, what "extra light" grading means, and why valley walnuts differ from imported ones.
Read the guide →Kashmiri kahwa, made the way it is at home
The recipe as it is actually made in Kashmir — including how little saffron a cup really needs.
Read the recipe →Selling Kashmiri produce online from Srinagar
The practical side: shipping perishables out of the valley, seasonality, and selling direct rather than through middlemen.

Writing our name
- KashmirNosh — one word, capital K and capital N. Not "Kashmir Nosh", not "KashmirNosh.com" in body copy.
- It is a business, so it takes a singular verb: "KashmirNosh ships across India".
- We are an online business. We do not have a walk-in shop, so please do not list us as a place to visit in Srinagar.
