"Since ancient times, saffron is known for its many benefits," Briault said. "It's an antidepressant, has the reputation of being fun and bringing wisdom and is believed to be an aphrodisiac for women." "But then we needed a name. Saffron Drink didn't sound very sexy, so we thought of Drink Safran Kiwi, which could be shortened to DSK," he added. Pic/AFP
