Common Questions

Still Wondering?

Everything you need to know before your first bite. If something’s still unclear, write to us — we reply personally.

Is it freshly made?

Yes. Every pack is prepared fresh by The Thekua Company’s homemakers after the order is placed, never before. No stock is kept.

Handmade Thekua stays fresh for up to 45 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight. Once opened, reseal the jar after each use to retain the crunch and aroma.

Thekua has a mild, natural sweetness, not the sharp sweetness of refined sugar sweets or packaged biscuits. The jaggery variant has an earthy, rounded sweetness from pure jaggery. The sugar variant is slightly lighter in sweetness. Both are balanced enough for daily snacking without feeling heavy.

Yes, handmade Thekua is delivered across India. Orders are dispatched within 1-3 business days of being prepared. Delivery typically takes 5-12 days after dispatch, depending on your location. Each jar is packed airtight to retain freshness and crunch during transit.
Handmade Thekua contains three ingredients: whole wheat flour (chakki atta), pure jaggery or sugar, and desi ghee. No preservatives, no artificial colours, no refined flour, no palm oil.
Yes. Unlike packaged biscuits and processed sweets, Thekua is made without refined flour, palm oil, or artificial preservatives. It contains whole wheat, jaggery or sugar, and ghee, the same ingredients used in Indian home kitchens for generations. The jaggery variant contains natural minerals, including iron. Suitable for daily chai-time snacking for adults and children.

Yes. The 250g and 500g packs make thoughtful gifts for colleagues, family, and friends who appreciate authentic, handmade Indian sweets. If you need gift packaging or bulk gifting, contact the team at support@thekuacompany.com.

Jaggery is less processed than white sugar and contains trace minerals. However, its glycemic index (around 84) is higher than that of white sugar (around 65), meaning it can raise blood sugar levels quickly. Thekua is a better everyday snack than most processed biscuits, but it is still a sweetener-based product. If you are diabetic or managing blood sugar, consume in moderation and consult your doctor.

Yes. Every pack – 250g, 500g, or 1kg- is prepared in the same small batches by the same homemakers from Mithila. The quantity is larger, but the process is identical. No batch production. No factory shortcuts.

Yes. The 2kg pack works well for corporate gifting, bulk orders for events, or large family occasions. For custom packaging or orders above 2kg, contact the team directly at support@thekuacompany.com or WhatsApp +91 8904993884.
