GRB Dates Halwa (200g)

GRB Dates Halwa (200?g) — what it is, what to expect when you eat it, its ingredients, benefits and some cautions.

?? What is GRB Dates Halwa (200?g)

GRB Dates Halwa is an Indian?style sweet dessert (halwa) made primarily from dates, along with a few other traditional ingredients like ghee, sugar (or syrup), corn?starch (or thickening agent), and nuts (cashews).

It comes in a ready?to?eat form in a 200?g pack — so you don’t need to cook or prepare anything; just open and serve.

The halwa is often considered a “rich but slightly healthier” sweet compared to many other mithai — because of the dates base (instead of only refined sugar or flour).

?? Ingredients & Nutritional Info (per pack / per 100?g approx)

From the product listing:

Typical ingredients: Sugar, Dates (about 14%), Dates syrup, Corn starch, Ghee (about 5%), Cashew nuts, Citric acid.

Nutrition (approx per 100?g):

Energy: ~?385?kcal

Carbohydrates: ~?74?g (of which sugars ~?65?g)

Fat: ~?9?g (saturated fat ~?4.8?g)

Protein: ~?2?g

Because the pack is 200?g, the actual values for a full pack double those per?100?g numbers roughly.

?? Taste, Texture & How It’s Enjoyed

The halwa has a rich, sweet taste — sweetened both by dates’ natural sugars and added sugar/syrup, which gives a deep, earthy sweetness rather than sharp refined?sugar sweetness.

Texture: It’s typically soft, slightly chewy / dense — as many halwas are. The presence of dates and cashew bits gives some chewiness and mild crunch, adding to the richness.

Versatile use: You can eat it as is — as a dessert, a treat after meals, or as a festive sweet during celebrations. It works as a standalone sweet or part of a mithai?platter.

? What’s Good About It

Better “natural?sweet based dessert”: Since it uses dates (rather than only refined flour or sugar), it brings some of the nutritional value of dates (though still sweet).

Convenient & ready to eat: No cooking or prep required — good for quick desserts, festive occasions, or whenever you crave a sweet treat.

Richness & indulgence: For festivals, celebrations, or special occasions — the ghee, nuts, and dense sweet make it feel like a “proper” traditional mithai.

?? What to Keep in Mind

High in sugar and calories: With ~?385?kcal per 100?g and high sugar content (~?65?g per 100?g), it’s a calorie?dense sweet. Frequent or large?quantity consumption might not suit people with blood?sugar concerns or those on calorie?restricted diets.

Contains nuts (cashews): Not suitable for those allergic to nuts.

Rich / heavy after?taste possible: Because of ghee, sugar, and dense texture — eating large portions may feel heavy, especially if you're not used to rich desserts.

Moderation is key: Best enjoyed occasionally or in small servings rather than as a regular snack — treat it as dessert rather than everyday food.

?? When It’s Best Used

GRB Dates Halwa is ideal for:

Festivals, celebrations, or special occasions when you want to offer traditional sweets.

As a dessert after meals, or as a treat with tea/coffee (though with caution due to richness).

When you want a quick, ready?to?eat sweet without cooking or elaborate preparation.

Sharing with family or guests — the 200?g pack is manageable yet substantial enough for a small gathering.
