Why Thekua Is the Healthier Alternative to Modern Biscuits.
Walk into any supermarket today, and you’ll find shelves filled with biscuits of every kind cream-filled, flavored, sugar-free, and more. But if you look closely at the ingredients, a different story unfolds.
Most biscuits are made with:
Refined flour (maida)
Palm oil
Artificial flavors
Preservatives and emulsifiers
At Atharvam Fresh, we asked a simple question: Is there a better alternative rooted in tradition?
The answer is Thekua.
What Is Thekua?
Thekua is a traditional snack from Bihar, deeply connected to Indian culture and festivals like Chhath Puja. Unlike modern biscuits, Thekua is not a factory invention it is a homemade, time-tested recipe passed through generations.
Why Thekua Is Better Than Regular Biscuits
Simple, Honest Ingredients
Thekua is made using:
Whole wheat flour (atta)
Jaggery (gud)
Desi ghee
Natural flavors like fennel or coconut
No hidden chemicals. No artificial additives.
No Palm Oil or Harmful Fats
