Prash shelves are crowded and the labels all look confident. Before you buy any brand, ours included, run it through these ten questions. A good jar answers them without drama.
The ten questions
- What percentage is amla? A brand that states it is willing to be compared. See how to read the number.
- How is that percentage calculated? Fresh fruit weight or cooked pulp can give different figures.
- Are the herbs named? A list of named herbs is more transparent than a generic herbal blend.
- How many herbs are there? Counts vary widely between brands.
- What is the sweetener? Refined sugar, jaggery, khaand and honey all behave differently.
- What is the fat? If ghee is listed, ask what kind and where it is from.
- Are there preservatives or artificial flavours? Check the full list, not just the front.
- Is the jar glass or plastic? It affects storage and how the product keeps.
- What does the label say about classification? A prash is typically sold as an Ayurvedic proprietary food, not a medicine. Be wary of cure claims.
- What are the serving size and shelf life? These tell you how long a jar will last. See jar math.
Red flags
- Claims that sound like medical treatment
- No ingredient list, or a list that hides behind a single blend name
- A price that looks too good compared with the amount of amla and ghee promised
