Made using pure desi ghee and natural jaggery, this traditional Indian sweet is not only delicious
but also nutritionally dense. It supports digestion, boosts energy, and satisfies sweet cravings guilt-free.

Health Benefits of Moong Dal, Ghee & Jaggery

• Moong Dal: High in protein, easy to digest, rich in folate, iron, and magnesium.
• Desi Ghee: A natural fat that improves gut health, supports brain function, and boosts metabolism.
• Jaggery: A traditional sweetener loaded with antioxidants and minerals, regulates body temperature and purifies blood.

This makes Moong Dal Laddu an ideal sweet for kids, fitness lovers, diabetics (in moderation), and even postpartum mothers.
