The saffron and dry fruits of Kashmir are renowned throughout the world. Infact, the only place in the world, other than Spain, where saffron grows is
Pampore, outside Srinagar. The most expensive spice in the world, saffron is quite rare too. However, you can easily find sealed jars of saffron in Srinagar,
affixed with the Government laboratory's stamp approval. Along with saffron, dry fruits of Kashmir are equally popular. The climate of the valley is
conducive for dry fruit growing, especially for walnut and almond trees. Another famous product of Kashmir is natural honey, produced in the numerous
apiaries in the valley. So, if you take a trip to the valley don't forget to buy Kashmiri saffron & dry fruits, along with the delicious natural honey.
