Dates Laddu is a healthy, sugar-free Indian sweet made primarily from dates and nuts. It is packed with natural sweetness, fiber, and essential nutrients, making it a great energy booster. Unlike traditional laddus, dates laddu does not require added sugar or jaggery, as the sweetness comes entirely from dates.
The preparation involves blending dates with dry fruits like almonds, cashews, walnuts, and pistachios, sometimes with a touch of ghee for binding. Some variations include coconut powder, poppy seeds, or cardamom for extra flavor. The mixture is shaped into small balls and stored for several days, making it a convenient and nutritious snack.
