Q: Is sugar-free Kaju Katli safe for diabetics?
A: Yes, absolutely. Our Kaju Katli is sweetened with a zero-glycemic index (GI) blend of Stevia based sweetener. It does not spike insulin or blood glucose levels, making it the safest choice for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics.
Q: How many calories are in one piece of sugar-free Kaju
Katli?
A: One piece contains approximately 30-35 calories, compared to 60-70 calories in a standard sugar-laden piece. It’s a calorie-smart way to enjoy festive sweets.
Q: Is this Kaju Katli Keto-friendly?
A: Yes. Since Cashews are naturally high in healthy fats and we use zero-carb sweeteners, our Kaju Katli has only ~1.5g net
carbs per piece, making it perfectly suitable for Keto and Low-Carb High-Fat (LCHF) diets. Some folks do not consider cashew as keto so please do check with your coach if you are on
a very strict keto diet.
Q: Does sugar-free Kaju Katli have a bitter aftertaste?
A: No. We use our proprietary sweetener blend – Artinci SweetSmart - which is low GI certified and is made with plant-based sweeteners like stevia. It removes the metallic bitterness often associated with sugar-free sweets. Our customers report it tastes almost same as the traditional Halwai-style Kaju Katli.
Q. Do you use Maltitol or artificial sweeteners?
A: No, we do not use Maltitol, Sucralose, or Aspartame. Maltitol is known to cause bloating and gastric distress. We strictly use plant-based sweeteners (Erythritol and Stevia) that are gentle on
the stomach.
Q: Is this product Vegan and Gluten-Free?
A: Yes, our Sugar-Free Kaju Katli is naturally Gluten-free and 100% Vegan. We do not use ghee or milk solids; the richness comes entirely from premium cashews.
Q: Is Stevia-sweetened mithai safe for pregnancy and
children?
A: Yes, Stevia and Erythritol are recognized as safe for pregnant women and children. They are a healthier alternative to refined sugar, helping to prevent gestational diabetes spikes
and cavities in kids.
Q: Can I eat this for weight loss?
A: Absolutely Yes! With 0 added sugar and lower calories than regular sweets, it fits well into a calorie-deficit diet when consumed in moderation.
Q: How long does sugar-free Kaju Katli last?
A: Our Kaju Katlis are packed using MAP technology
– Modified atmosphere packaging, which flushes out all oxygen and keeps the product inside absolutely fresh as on the first day of its production! It stays fresh for 70-90 days at room temperature (cool and dry surroundings). For extended freshness, you can store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. One the MAP seal is removed, it should be consumed within 3-4 days.
Q: Is it safe to consumer erythritol?
A: Erythritol is one of the most researched sweeteners, that is derived by fermentation from plant sources, with over 30
years of research behind it. It is found naturally occurring in some fruits and even the human body endogenously produces it. Since it is not metabolised by the body, but passes through the gut undigested, it does not give a glycemic response (aka blood sugar spike) either. Both of Artinci’s founders have personally been consuming it since 2019, with extremely healthy insulin levels of 2.5 to 5, which also shows that erythritol does not cause insulin resistance.
