The ERB Trust Section: Spotting the Real Deal

• The Cold Water Test: Place two threads in a bowl of cold water. Real Kashmiri saffron slowly releases a golden-yellow hue while the thread stays dark red. If the water turns red immediately, it is likely dyed.

• The ERB Assurance: Part of the Satat Sampada social enterprise. We bridge the gap between Kashmiri heritage farmers and your home. Consequently, we protect both your health and the environment.
