1. What is Tilkut and where does it come from?
Tilkut is a traditional Sankranti winter sweet from Gaya, Bihar (ancient Magadh region), known for its soft, khasta texture and handcrafted legacy. It is a seasonal favourite across North, Eastern and Central India. Famously known for one simple truth: a sweet that stays delicious, even when it breaks.

2. Why is Tilkut eaten during Sankranti?
Made with sesame and jaggery, Tilkut is a natural winter superfood that provides warmth, energy, and immunity during Makar Sankranti.

3. What ingredients are used?
Our tilkuts are made with premium white sesame seeds (til) and pure natural jaggery (gur), refined sugar and Fennel seeds (Sauf)—with no preservatives, artificial colours, flavours, or additives. 

4. How is Tilkut made?
It is handcrafted using traditional stone-pounding methods, where roasted sesame and jaggery are manually beaten and shaped into soft, melt-in-the-mouth discs.

5. Is the Tilkut freshly made?
Yes. Each batch is freshly prepared in small quantities, only after pre-booking, to ensure freshness and authenticity. No Warehouses. No Storage. Made Fresh. Delivered Fresh. From the artisan’s hand to your home.

6. Why does Tilkut sometimes crack?
Authentic Tilkut is soft, delicate, and khasta. Minor cracks during transit are natural, do not affect taste, and indicate true craftsmanship without artificial binders.

7. What are the health benefits of Tilkut?
Sesame is rich in calcium, iron, healthy fats, and antioxidants, while jaggery supports digestion, warmth, and sustained energy, making it ideal for winter.

8. Who can consume Tilkut?
Suitable for all age groups, especially during winter and Sankranti, unless there is a sesame or jaggery allergy.

9. How should Tilkut be consumed?
Enjoy it as a Sankranti sweet, a winter energy snack, a post-meal digestive, or paired with festive foods like chura-dahi, pongal, khichdi, or rice preparations.

10. How should Tilkut be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, away from moisture and sunlight to prevent loss of crunch. Do not refrigerate. 

11. What is the shelf life?
As it is freshly made without preservatives, consume within the shelf life mentioned on the pack for best taste and texture.
