Gur Rewari (400gm) - Traditional Jaggery Sesame Candy, Winter Special, Crunchy & Nutritious, Fresh from Punjab

Gur Rewari is that classic winter candy your dadi used to give you on cold mornings - crunchy golden discs made with roasted sesame seeds held together by melted jaggery. It's basically the OG Indian energy bar, except it actually tastes good. These particular ones come from Punjab, where making rewari is practically an art form, especially during winter months when fresh jaggery is available.

Why Gur Rewari is a Winter Thing

In North India and Pakistan, rewari season starts around November when the weather gets cold and fresh jaggery (gur) comes to market from sugarcane harvest. The combination is believed to keep you warm from inside - sesame seeds generate body heat (according to traditional medicine), and jaggery is considered a warming food. Science or not, eating rewari with hot chai on a cold evening just feels right.

What Makes Good Rewari

The difference between good rewari and meh rewari is huge. Good ones have that perfect snap when you bite - not too hard to break your teeth, not so soft they're sticky. The sesame should be properly roasted (you can taste the difference), and the jaggery should be good quality - not burnt-tasting or too sweet. These Punjab ones get it right - they know their rewari.

Questions About Gur Rewari in Dubai

1. Is gur rewari available year-round in Dubai?

It's mainly a winter thing - best availability from November to February when it's fresh. Indian stores stock it during winter months. You might find it other times, but winter batches are fresher because that's when jaggery is harvested.

2. Why does my rewari stick to my teeth?

If it's super sticky, either it's warm (jaggery softens in heat) or there's too much jaggery in the mix. Dubai heat doesn't help - store them in a cool place or even the fridge. Fresh, well-made rewari should be crunchy, not sticky.

3. How many gur rewari can I eat in a day?

2-4 pieces is reasonable. They're calorie-dense and high in natural sugars. Think of them as a sweet snack, not something to eat by the handful. Your ancestors ate them for energy, not as a meal replacement.

4. Can I eat rewari in Dubai summer?

Traditionally, no - it's considered a heating food. In summer, you'd want cooling foods. But if you're craving it and have AC at home, go ahead. Just know your grandma would probably say "garmiyon mein rewari?!" (rewari in summer?!)

5. Is gur better than white sugar?

Yes, jaggery (gur) is less processed and contains iron, minerals, and nutrients that white sugar doesn't have. It's still sugar though - better choice, but not a health food. Everything in moderation.

6. Why is my rewari too hard to bite?

Old rewari gets harder. Also, if it was overcooked or has too little jaggery, it'll be rock-hard. Good rewari should crack with a satisfying snap, not require a hammer. If yours is breaking your teeth, it's either old or poorly made.

7. Can diabetics eat gur rewari?

Not really. Jaggery is still sugar - it'll spike blood sugar just like white sugar, maybe slightly slower. If you're diabetic, save it for very rare treats and small portions. Better to just skip it honestly.

8. Is rewari good for kids?

Yes, it's actually better than commercial candy - has protein, calcium, iron. But watch young kids with the crunchy pieces (choking hazard), and make sure they brush their teeth after. It's still candy, just healthier candy.

9. Why do people eat rewari on Lohri?

It's tradition! Lohri celebrates the sugarcane harvest and end of winter. Rewari, made from jaggery (from sugarcane) and sesame, is the traditional treat. Plus, it's eaten during cold weather, which is when Lohri happens.

10. Can I make rewari at home?

You can, but it's tricky. Getting the jaggery temperature exactly right is an art - too hot and it burns, too cool and it won't bind. Plus you need really good jaggery. Honestly, buying from experts who've been making it for generations is easier.

11. How long does gur rewari last?

In an airtight container in a cool place, 2-3 months easily. In Dubai heat, keep it sealed tight or refrigerate. If it starts smelling rancid (sesame oil can go bad), toss it. Fresh rewari has a sweet, roasted smell.

12. Where can I buy authentic gur rewari in Dubai?

Indian and Pakistani grocery stores, especially during winter (Nov-Feb). Look for ones that say Punjab rewari - they're usually the best. Some stores get fresh batches from India during season. We deliver authentic gur rewari across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
