About Us

Born in the Kashmir Valley in 2018 and brought to Canada in 2025, Kashmir Organic imports only the highest quality products made from authentic Kashmiri ingredients.

Established in 2018, our sister company, Kashmir Organic Nuts is based in Mumbai and dedicated to sourcing premium grade authentic Kashmiri ingredients harvested by hand using traditional techniques and methods. Our products undergo very little processing to preserve the naturally occurring nutritional, medicinal and health benefits.

The brainchild of Rayees Yusuf and Ali Goni, Kashmir Organic Nuts has secured itself as a reliable source for high-quality Kashmiri products with a large selection of premium nuts, honey, dried fruits and nut oils; along with the core products Old Rock Shilajit, Premium 100% Pure Saffron, Kashmiri Green Tea and Shahi Kahwa Instant Green Tea.

Childhood friends, Rayees Yusuf and Rohin Raina grew up together in Srinagar, proud of their Kashmiri heritage. So, it was only natural that when Rohin relocated to Canada the two would reunite with the aim of bringing high-quality, authentic Kashmiri products to the North American market.

Re-envisioned and repackaged with a fresh look towards the Canadian market, our Kashmir Organic products maintain all their quality, freshness and nutrition delivering the authentic purity of Kashmir straight to you.

Since 1st century BCE, Kashmir has a long history with saffron; it is now an important and protected Kashmiri export. Locally saffron is often served on special occasions and festivals, including wedding ceremonies and religious celebrations; serving dishes flavored with saffron to guests is an expression of hospitality. The chemistry of saffron is complex; this spice has primary metabolites, which are ubiquitous in nature, such as carbohydrates, minerals, fats, vitamins, amino acids, and proteins. A large number of compounds belong to different classes of secondary metabolites, products of metabolism not ubiquitous but important for the development or reproduction of the organism, such as carotenoids, monoterpenes, and flavonoids, including mainly anthocyanins. Carotenoids are the most important constituents of the spice, from which it derives its color. They include fat-soluble ones, such as α- and β-carotene, lycopene and zeaxanthin, and water-soluble ones like the apocarotenoid crocetin (C20H24O4) and crocins, the polyene esters of the mono- and di-glycoside crocetin.

Cardamom is a treasured component of Kashmiri cuisine and culture; cardamom (with rock sugar and sometimes other ingredients) is a traditional gift on weddings and birthdays as a token of Good Luck and Blessing Beyond. Cardamom and its active constituents aid in fighting metabolic issues including dyslipidemia by increasing the rate of cholesterol degradation, activating lipoprotein lipase, reducing lipid absorption from the intestine; obesity through increasing the amount of SIRT1 and controlling some genes involved in obesity; hypertension via blocking calcium channels, induction of cholinergic effects and anti-oxidant property; and high blood glucose by enhancing the amount of SIRT1, PGC-1α, reducing NF-κB function and inhibiting α-glucosidase and α-amylase.
Shilajit, also known in the north of India as salajit, shilajatu, mimie, or mummiyo, is a blackish-brown exudate from high mountain rocks, especially in the Himalayan and Karakorum Mountain ranges between India and Nepal. Shilajit has been known and used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine as a rejuvenator (rasayana) and as an antiaging compound. There are two important characteristics of a rasayana compound in ancient Indian medicine: that is, to increase physical strength and to promote human health. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, Shilajit has been reported to exhibit adaptogenic and potent anabolic properties and has been used for centuries to treat a number of disorders, including muscle and tendon injuries. Shilajit usually comprises 60-80% organic matter, 20-40% mineral matter and 5% of trace elements. Several reports and scientific data suggest that it contains around 80 bio-active components including fatty acids, benzoic acid, hippuric acid, resin and waxy materials, albuminoids, gums, and vegetable matter. Being a Phyto-complex, Shilajit mainly contains (60 – 80%) of humus substances like humins, humic acids and fulvic acid. Additionally, it also contains triterpenes, sterols, ichthyol, ellagic acid, resin, aromatic carboxylic acid, 3, 4-benzocoimiarins, amino acids, phenolic lipids, minerals like silica, iron, antimony, lithium, manganese, calcium, copper, molybdenum, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, selenium and small amounts of dibenzo-α-pyrones (metabolites derived from plants, fungi, or mycobionts). But the curative and therapeutic properties of Shilajit mainly come from the presence of fulvic acid that helps in treating a wide range of conditions.
Clove is another key spice in Kashmiri culture, cuisine and medicinal traditions. Cloves have been used for centuries as food preservative and for many medicinal purposes making it one of the most valuable spices globally. Many reports confirm the antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anticarcinogenic properties of spice plants. Clove in particular has attracted the attention due to the potent antioxidant and antimicrobial activities standing out among the other spices.
Adding to the fragrance and health properties, rose petals are common in Kashmiri culture and beverages. Flowers have been especially regarded as good dietary sources owing to their various beneficial elements, such as phenolic acids, flavonols, and anthocyanins; beneficial properties of flowers have been well‐defined, including antioxidant properties. The medical benefits of roses include anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects; their role in seizure treatment; antimicrobial properties; anti-aging and skin repair benefits.
Black pepper is considered a fundamental healing spice in both Kashmiri traditions and in Ayurvedic medical practices; it is one of the main components in the herbal preparation called trikatu, an important ingredient in many Ayurvedic formulations. Black pepper’s major active principle, piperine, has been reported to favorably stimulate the digestive enzymes of pancreas, enhances the digestive capacity and significantly reduces the gastrointestinal food transit time. Piperine has also been demonstrated in studies to protect against oxidative damage by inhibiting or quenching free radicals and reactive oxygen species; and to lower lipid peroxidation and beneficially influence cellular thiol status, antioxidant molecules and antioxidant enzymes in a number of experimental situations of oxidative stress.

Cinnamon is an integral spice in Kashmiri culture, long used in daily life for food & drink; traditional Ayurvedic medicinal practices and home remedies. Several reports have studied the numerous properties of cinnamon in the forms of bark, essential oils, bark powder, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and isolated components. Each of these properties plays a key role in the advancement of human health. Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities may occur through the direct action on oxidants or microbes, whereas the anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antidiabetic activities occur indirectly via receptor-mediated mechanisms.

The dry weight of green tea is comprised of up to 30% polyphenols; most of the green tea polyphenols are flavonols, commonly known as catechins. Studies show that green tea catechins can protect against degenerative diseases; be effective in preventing oxidative stress and neurological problems; may lower blood pressure reducing the risk of stroke and coronary heart disease; boost endogenous skin defenses such as photoprotection, cancer chemoprevention, improvement in skin’s resilience and integrity, and for treating skin diseases; appear to have antiobesity and antidiabetic effects; and linked to the prevention of many types of cancer, including lung, colon, esophagus, mouth, stomach, small intestine, kidney, pancreas, and mammary glands.
