Sold as a wholesome jaggery snack, but three different sweeteners (jaggery, sugar, liquid glucose) come before the peanuts. It's a sugar bar with nuts in it.

Why this verdict

Three separate sweeteners stacked: jaggery + sugar + liquid glucose
Sweeteners listed before peanuts means sugar outweighs the nuts
Liquid glucose is a refined syrup that spikes blood sugar fast
Added vegetable oil layers refined fat onto the sugar load

Ingredients (7)

Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
Gud (jaggery) (moderate) — Unrefined cane sugar with trace minerals, but it's still sugar and the marketing leans hard on it.
Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
Liquid glucose (moderate) — A simple syrup adding sweetness and texture.
Peanuts (safe) — Legume packed with protein and healthy fats.
sesame (safe) — Whole seed adding healthy fats, calcium, and a bit of fiber.
Vegetable Oil (moderate) — Refined frying oil; the main source of the calorie density and fat.
