For Expecting Mothers
Trusted by thousands of Indian mothers, our ISO 3632 lab-tested Mongra kesar is the same grade recommended by gynaecologists for kesar milk during pregnancy — farm-direct from Pampore, with a downloadable purity report for every batch.
Yes — in small, culinary amounts, kesar (saffron) has been a part of Indian pregnancy tradition for centuries. Kesar milk is traditionally given to expecting mothers from the second trimester onward for its warming, mood-lifting and mildly digestive properties. Modern clinical research echoes this long-standing practice: small doses are generally well tolerated, while very large medicinal doses are not recommended in pregnancy without supervision.
The single biggest factor is purity. During pregnancy you cannot afford adulterated saffron coloured with turmeric, corn silk or artificial dye. That is why we test every batch to ISO 3632 and publish the certificate on our lab reports page.
The traditional — and most commonly recommended — window is from the start of the second trimester (around week 13–14) through to delivery. The first trimester is when the baby is most sensitive to new additions, so most gynaecologists advise holding kesar milk until that stage is past.
A typical nightly serving is a cup of warm milk with 5–10 strands of Mongra kesar, lightly crushed and stirred through. Sweeten with a little jaggery or honey if you like. Always confirm the timing with your own doctor — every pregnancy is different.

India's saffron market is flooded with adulterants — corn silk coloured with food dye, turmeric threads, and even plastic strands. These contaminants are a risk for any consumer, but during pregnancy they are a risk you cannot afford to take.
Every harvest of Saffron Town kesar is independently tested to ISO 3632 — the international standard for saffron purity — and scored on crocin (colour), safranal (aroma) and picrocrocin (flavour). We publish the results openly, so you can download the certificate for your batch before you brew a single strand.

I started saffron for skin glow before my wedding. Tried a few brands,most turned milk yellow, not golden. Saffron Town's Mongra is different. Pure Kashmiri saffron, deep red threads. Two months of kesar milk and my skin is glowing. The kesar milk benefits are real when the saffron is real. Saffron from Pampore, farm direct. Wedding ready.
