Khand

At ArogBhog, we believe that sweetness shouldn't come at the cost of your health. While refined white sugar is "bleached" and "dead," our Desi Khand is a living, traditional sweetener. It is often referred to as the "Muscovado" of India. Unlike industrial sugar which is cooked at high temperatures and treated with sulphur, our Khand is made using a traditional cold-process method. It is a raw, unrefined sugar that hasn't been stripped of its soul.

The Fact is: Desi Khand is not just a sweetener; it is considered "Sattvic" and cooling for the body in Ayurveda. Because it is not subjected to high heat or phosphoric acid, it retains essential trace minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. Most commercial "white" sugar is acidic, whereas traditional Khand is alkaline-forming in the body. It has a distinct, creamy-white color and a grainy texture because it is simply sun-dried and centrifugally separated, leaving the nutrients intact.

It’s the perfect switch for your home—whether it’s for your morning tea, your child’s milk, or traditional sweets. It gives you the sweetness you love with the mineral balance nature intended.
