Thank you for the Kashmir info. I unsuccessfully searched amazon for Indian saffron. There is one product with mostly positive reviews, but some bad. Then I visited their website where I eventually clicked their amazon button which took me to amazon India's site. Those reviews are really mixed. Maybe they're true or maybe people have been paid to bad mouth the company. I also did a general internet search which produced company websites, but I am too cautious to send my info to an unknown companies. So my solution for trying Kashmiri saffron is to find some shops in the San Jose area, though I have no plans to travel up there anytime sooner or later.
