Who it’s for

Good for every age.

Nuts and seeds bring protein, fibre, healthy fats and minerals. Here is what that means at different ages.

Kids, 5 and up

A tiffin sweet that isn’t candy. Protein and good fats for growing bodies, and energy that lasts through school and play. The nuts are chopped small, but please keep an eye on young children.

Teens and students

Steady energy for long study days. Pumpkin and sesame seeds bring zinc and magnesium. One laddu with a glass of milk is an easy evening snack.

Working adults

The 4 pm fix. Fibre from flax and chia keeps you full, so you are less likely to reach for biscuits. Keep a box at your desk.

Anyone who works out

Nuts and seeds give protein and slow-release energy. Have one before a workout, or two after.

New and expecting mothers

Sesame is rich in calcium and flax in omega-3. Our Dink Laddu, coming soon, is the traditional choice. Please check with your doctor first.

Parents and grandparents

Soft enough to chew, sweet enough to enjoy. Walnuts and flax are known for plant omega-3, which is good for the heart.

Contains cashew, almond, walnut and sesame. Not for anyone with a nut or seed allergy. This is general food information, not medical advice.

How it helps

Six everyday problems.
One small laddu.

A laddu is food, not medicine. But these eight ingredients do real work. Here is what they can help with.

Tired by mid-afternoon

Nuts and seeds carry protein and good fats. They release energy slowly, so you get a steady lift and no crash an hour later.

Sugar cravings

The only sweetness is dark chocolate. It tastes like a treat, and the fibre and fats mean one is usually enough.

Sluggish digestion

Flax and chia are full of fibre. Fibre, with enough water, helps keep your digestion regular.

Hungry again in an hour

Protein, fibre and good fats keep you full for longer. That makes it easier to skip the biscuits and chips.

Not enough calcium

Sesame seeds are one of the richest plant sources of calcium. Almonds and pumpkin seeds add magnesium. Bones need both.

Too few good fats

Walnuts, flax and chia bring plant omega-3. Most of us eat too little of it, and it is the kind of fat your heart likes.

This is general food information, not medical advice. A laddu does not treat or cure any condition. If a problem does not go away, please see your doctor.
