About Petha

Petha is a traditional sweet originating from North India, particularly renowned in Agra. Made primarily from ash gourd (white pumpkin) and sugar, this translucent delicacy is often infused with flavors like cardamom, saffron, or rose water. Low in fat and containing no added oils, Petha is a relatively light treat compared to other Indian sweets. Ash gourd, its main ingredient, is rich in water content and offers some micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. However, Petha is high in refined sugar, which contributes to its calorie density, making it less suitable for those trying to limit sugar intake. While its simplicity and natural base ingredient make it appealing, moderation is key for enjoying Petha as part of a balanced diet.
