Thekua

Description

Parv Foods Thekua is a traditional Indian cookie crafted from whole wheat flour, pure ghee, and granulated sugar—hand-pressed into rustic molds and deep-fried to golden perfection. With its crispy exterior and soft, melt-in-mouth core, Thekua is a nostalgic treat rooted in the heritage of Bihar and Jharkhand, often prepared during Chhath Puja.

Each bite delivers a warm, caramelized sweetness balanced by the richness of ghee and the earthy texture of whole wheat. Whether enjoyed with tea or offered as prasad, Thekua is more than a snack—it’s a celebration of tradition.

🌿 Health Benefits of Sugar-Based Thekua

While jaggery is often preferred for its nutritional edge, sugar-based Thekua still offers several benefits when made with quality ingredients and consumed mindfully:

✅ 1. Sustained Energy Boost

• Whole wheat flour provides complex carbohydrates for slow energy release.
• Sugar offers quick glucose replenishment—ideal for fasting or post-work fatigue.

✅ 2. Satiety & Digestive Support

• Ghee and wheat flour help curb hunger and support digestion.
• Fiber from whole wheat aids in regulating bowel movements.

✅ 3. Winter Wellness

• Traditionally consumed in colder months, Thekua helps maintain body warmth due to ghee and dry coconut content.

✅ 4. Mood & Comfort Food

• The sweet profile and nostalgic aroma can elevate mood and reduce stress—especially when paired with warm beverages.
