Why Professional Chefs Choose Kashmiri Saffron
Restaurant-grade Kashmiri saffron is the secret ingredient that transforms ordinary dishes into extraordinary culinary experiences. Whether you run a fine dining establishment, a traditional Indian restaurant, or a catering business, bulk saffron supply ensures you never run out of this essential spice.
Professional chefs prefer Kashmiri Mongra Saffron over Iranian or Spanish varieties because:
- Superior Aroma: Kashmiri saffron has a more intense, honey-like fragrance that elevates dishes
- Deeper Color: Higher crocin content (250+ on ISO scale) provides rich golden-red hues
- Authentic Flavor: Distinct taste profile that customers recognize and appreciate
- GI Tag Authenticity: Geographical Indication certification ensures genuine Kashmir origin
- Consistent Quality: Uniform thread quality for predictable results in every dish
According to the ISO 3632 international standard for saffron, Kashmiri Mongra saffron consistently ranks as Category I (highest grade) for colour, aroma, and flavor.

Monthly Quantity Guide for Restaurants
Calculate your monthly saffron requirements based on your restaurant type and menu offerings:
| Restaurant Type | Daily Covers | Saffron Dishes % | Monthly Need |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Café/Bistro | 20-50 covers | 10-15% | 5-10 grams |
| Mid-Size Restaurant | 50-150 covers | 20-30% | 25-50 grams |
| Fine Dining | 100-200 covers | 30-40% | 50-100 grams |
| Hotel Restaurant | 200-400 covers | 25-35% | 100-250 grams |

Cost Savings Example: A mid-size restaurant using 50g monthly saves approximately ₹3,000-5,000 per month by buying wholesale instead of retail packs.
Usage Calculation Formula
To estimate your monthly needs:
- Count average daily covers (customers served)
- Estimate percentage ordering saffron-based dishes (typically 20-30%)
- Multiply by average saffron per dish (0.02-0.05g per serving)
- Multiply by 30 days
- Add 20% buffer for specials and wastage
Example: 100 daily covers × 25% saffron dishes × 0.03g per dish × 30 days × 1.2 buffer = 27 grams monthly
