| Only selective flowers are handpicked by our field experts after making sure they are properly grown. Petals of these handpicked flowers are spread wide under the sun to make them dry and free from any sort of external impurities . | |
| The stigmas or the saffron filaments have to be hand picked from each flower and more than 75000 flowers are needed to produce just about a pound of saffron |  |
 |
These dried saffron filaments are spread under the sun to free them from moisture, to ensure its freshness. |
| The yellow style is then carefully separated from the red filaments along with other floral wastes under carefully supervision |  |
