Saffron's taste and iodoform or hay-like fragrance result from the chemicals picrocrocin and safranal. It also contains a carotenoid pigment, crocin, which imparts a rich golden-yellow hue to dishes and textiles.

coloring, slight moistness, and elasticity. A major part of the saffron produced in Kashmir is exported to various countries. The ideal environment for the cultivation of saffron is cool dry climate and rich soil with excellent drainage and organic content, and Kashmir ’s alluvial soil with its ample clay content is able to fulfill these qualities.
