Saamai is good in fibre, iron and an excellent anti oxidant.
Groundnut taken with cane sugar gives good iron and protein.
Sesame seeds in combination with cane sugar is an excellent source of iron. That is why when girls attain puberty, grandmas used to make sesame urundai and give it to the girls as they need lots of iron at that time.

Cane sugar is better than jaggary and white sugar.
So as a whole this Laddu is a very good substitute for all junk foods. One or two laddus taken in the evening, after coming back from school will give the kids excellent energy.Try it and enjoy.
