About Peda

Peda is a popular Indian sweet made primarily from khoya (reduced milk), sugar, and cardamom, often garnished with nuts like pistachios or almonds. Originating in North India, peda is frequently offered during festivals, religious ceremonies, and celebrations. Its soft, grainy texture and rich flavor make it a beloved treat across the country. While peda provides calcium and protein from the milk, its high sugar and fat content make it an energy-dense dessert that should be enjoyed in moderation. Traditional recipes may include ghee, further increasing its calorie count. Variations of peda incorporate ingredients like saffron or chocolate, enhancing its appeal. Though indulgent, peda is best consumed as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of a balanced diet.
