Our Mongra is the top most part of the stigma, hence you are guaranteed the highest quality and deepest flavour and aroma. However, pure Mongra has (very few) orangish-red threads, that is how you know your product is free of any harmful color or preservatives. Pure saffron is a natural product and any natural product has varying shades of the same color, something you must have noticed in all the flowers. If you have noticed a rose, every petal does not look identical in color or shape. An even identical deep red color can only be achieved by coloring, which we will never do. Our 62 years old company only operates on one goal: "Bring the real nature to the customer." We hope when you open our box, you are instantly transformed to the saffron fields of Kashmir smelling the pure saffron flowers. We look forward to your feedback. **Q: When is it's exquire date?** A: Dear Nguyen Minh Thu: Thank you for contacting us and for choosing Lion Saffron. As a 60 year old company, we maintain a high standard of quality, freshness and purity. Our saffron is packed on the same day it is ordered and is fresh for 12 months if stored in a cool and a dry place such as the refrigerator. Saffron as a natural product is only harvested once a year in November but used for year(s). By choosing Lion Saffron, you’re guaranteed purity, hygiene, freshness and unprocessed high quality saffron. We look forward to your feedback and review. **Q: I coustomer reviews, some of them said it's not dissolved in hot milk or water it's fake don't buy.. why they sayid like that plz give clarification** A: Pure saffron never dissolves in milk or water. Imagine rose petals. When you boil them to extract Rose water, the petals only lose their color/texture/shape; they never dissolve completely in the water. Saffron strands too never dissolve into the liquid. The people who have left those kind of reviews are either competitors who are trying to prevent the sale or people who do not know much about Saffron/are misinformed. Lion Saffron has earned a reputation for purity over 64 years of selling Saffron. We are recommended and preferred by doctors and grandmothers because they know that our small family-owned business only works with one goal - bringing pure high quality ingredients to every kitchen in India at an affordable price. ## Frequently Bought Together - LION BRAND SAFFRON, 5g, Grade A+++ Kashmiri Mongra Saffron/Kesar for Pregnant Women, Biryani, Beauty, Cooking and Sweets (Pack of 1 (5gm)) - Tata Sampann Golden Saffron, 1g, Natural Aroma & Colour, Pure Kesar, ISO 3632 Tested - Rasayanam Pure Original Kashmiri Saffron/Kesar/Kumkuma Puvvu (1gm) | Certified highest Grade-A Keshar | Saffron for pregnant women, Pooja rituals & Food aroma --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/218965954-lion-brand-saffron-5g-grade-a-kashmiri-mongra-saffron-kesar](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/218965954-lion-brand-saffron-5g-grade-a-kashmiri-mongra-saffron-kesar) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-02*
