Ingredients: They are primarily crafted from the dried flowers of the Madhuca longifolia (Mahua) tree, often combined with ingredients like jaggery, ghee, and various nuts, seeds (such as sesame), and dry fruits.
Flavor and Texture: The mahua flowers provide a unique, naturally sweet, and earthy flavor to the laddu, eliminating the need for refined sugar.
