Sesame Candy - Rewri (300gm) - Traditional Winter Sweet, Made with Jaggery, Crunchy & Nutritious, Perfect for Cold Days
Sesame candy, called Rewri in Hindi/Urdu, is one of those old-school winter treats that your grandmother probably made at home. These crunchy, golden discs are made with just sesame seeds and jaggery (unrefined sugar), roasted together until they stick and form into flat rounds. Simple ingredients, but there's something about that nutty sesame taste mixed with caramel-like jaggery that hits different in winter.
This isn't candy like chocolate or gummies. Rewri is a traditional Indian winter sweet that's actually considered healthy by grandma standards - it's got protein, calcium, iron, and it keeps you warm. In North India, people eat it during winter months because sesame seeds are believed to generate body heat. Whether that's science or tradition, people have been munching on rewri during cold weather for generations.
The combination of roasted sesame seeds and jaggery creates this crunchy, slightly sticky texture that's addictive. It's sweet but not too sweet, nutty but not overwhelming. Plus, there's nostalgia involved - for anyone who grew up in India or Pakistan, rewri reminds them of winter evenings, Lohri celebrations, and family gatherings. Even if you didn't grow up with it, once you try good rewri, you get why it's stuck around for centuries.
Yes, it's candy, but it's the healthier kind:

How to Enjoy Sesame Candy
Simple, traditional, warming. Sesame Candy (Rewri) in Dubai - winter sweetness done right.
Questions About Sesame Candy (Rewri)
Just two main ingredients - sesame seeds (white or mixed with black) and jaggery (gur). They're roasted together until the jaggery melts and binds the seeds, then shaped into flat rounds and left to harden. That's it. No artificial stuff.
In traditional Indian medicine, sesame seeds are considered "warming" - they're supposed to generate body heat. Whether that's scientifically proven or not, the tradition is strong. Plus, winter is when fresh jaggery is available, so it became a seasonal thing.
Kind of, yeah. It has actual nutrients - calcium, iron, protein - because of the sesame seeds. Jaggery is less refined than white sugar and has minerals. But it's still high in calories and sugar, so don't go crazy. Let's call it "candy that won't make grandma scold you."
Probably not a great idea. Jaggery is still sugar - it might be less processed, but it'll still spike blood sugar. If you're diabetic and craving rewri, talk to your doctor and maybe have just one small piece occasionally.
That's the jaggery - it's naturally sticky, especially if it's fresh or if the weather is warm. In winter cold, it gets harder and less sticky. Store it in a cool place, and it'll be less annoying. That stickiness is just part of the rewri experience.
Sure, but be careful with really young kids - it's crunchy and can be a choking hazard. Break it into smaller pieces. Also, it's sweet and sticky, so maybe make them brush their teeth after. Moderation, as always.
2-4 pieces is reasonable. It's nutritious but also high in calories. Think of it as a sweet snack, not a meal replacement or health supplement. Your jeans will thank you for not eating the whole pack in one sitting.
Traditional belief says yes, because of the calcium and warming properties. Modern medicine says... maybe? The calcium is definitely real and good for bones. Whether it specifically helps joints, that's more traditional wisdom than proven science.
You can, but traditionally it's avoided. The warming properties that are great in winter might make you feel too hot in summer. Plus, rewri gets really sticky in heat. But if you're craving it, go ahead - just keep it refrigerated.
Quality and freshness matter. Good rewri should be crunchy but not rock-hard. If it's too soft, it might be fresh or the weather's warm. Too hard? Either old or made with less jaggery. Proper rewri has that satisfying snap.
That's personal preference. White sesame rewri is milder and looks prettier. Mixed (with black seeds) has slightly stronger flavor and more nutrients. Both are good - try both and see what you like.
