Everyone in the family is telling me to start kesar milk now that im pregnant, second trimester chal raha hai. But there are so many types in the market, kashmiri, iranian, and honestly i dont know which one is real or good. Anyone knows which kind to actually buy?
At my hospital, the dietitian actually gave us a list of trusted brands if we wanted to use saffron. They said to look for certifications of purity. It's always best to ask your gynac or the hospital's nutritionist directly, as they can recommend specific safe options and appropriate quantities for you.
My mummy ji made sure I had saffron milk every night. She always got pure Kashmiri kesar from a trusted shop. She said it's important for strength. So I would say, ask your mum or a trusted elder, they often know where to get the most authentic kind.
Honestly, with twins, I just grabbed whatever good quality saffron I could find easily, usually from a well-known brand. The idea is to get pure stuff. I doubt it makes a difference between 'good' saffron and 'very good' saffron when you're just putting a few strands in milk. Don't chase perfection, just practicality!
Look for pure Kashmiri saffron, that's usually considered the best quality. Just a few strands are enough, don't overdo it. The key is finding an authentic source because there's a lot of adulterated stuff out there. Many prefer it with milk at night.
Haha, are you also hoping for a gora chitta baby? Just kidding! Honestly, any good quality saffron from a reputable brand or a local dry fruit shop should be fine. Just don't go overboard; a tiny bit is enough. Your baby's fairness depends on genes, not saffron, but it's good for mood and digestion.
Hey! Don't stress too much about which specific brand. Just make sure it's genuine and pure, not mixed with other stuff. You can ask your local dry fruit seller for good quality, authentic kesar. A little bit in milk is mostly for general well-being, so don't overthink it!
I've heard about saffron being good for pregnancy, but I'm also confused about which one to choose. Is there a specific type that's better, or should I just go for any pure one? I'm still learning about all these things.
