MIL keeps telling me to start kesar milk now that im in my second trimester. So much fake saffron in the market that i dont know which brand to actually trust. Which one are you all using?
My amma swears by saffron in milk but she also says only a little. We never focused on brand, just that it should be real not adulterated. I still asked my doctor before taking, you should too just to be safe.
Yaar honestly the brand doesnt matter as much as it being pure Kashmiri or good Iranian kesar. Actually a lot of cheap ones are mixed with colour and threads, thats the real problem. Buy from a trusted shop, dont fall for the fairness baby myths.
We always used pure Kashmiri kesar at home, just a few strands in milk. Beta dont overdo it thinking more is better, a pinch is enough. And do check with your doctor before starting daily, sabke liye theek nahi hota.
There is no medical best brand, that whole fair baby thing is just a belief. If you want to take it, get a genuine pure one and use only a tiny amount. Better to ask your gynac if its even needed in your case.
