Artinci Sugar Free Motichoor Laddu is a ghee-rich gram flour sweet made without sugar, with fructooligosaccharide fibre in its place.

Why Sugar Free Motichoor Laddu scores CA4

Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 4.5 g
- Fibre
- 19.1 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 430 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 4.55 g per 100 g, 1.5 g in a 33 g laddu, and the largest share comes from gram flour. Fibre is high at 19.09 g per 100 g, but about 8 g of it is isolated fibre, which counts for less than fibre from whole foods.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is seven items: gram flour, ghee, cardamom, FOS, cashew, melon seeds and a natural colour. No additive of concern, no hydrogenated fat and no sweetener beyond the prebiotic fibre is listed, and no claim on the pack is hollow, so nothing costs ingredient points.
The only small gap is that no ingredient percentages are given.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 0.03 mg
- Saturated fat
- 17.9 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is almost all of the risk: 17.88 g per 100 g, more than three times the 5 g high line. One laddu has 5.9 g.
Energy adds a little more at 430 kcal per 100 g, 142 per laddu. Added sugar is 0 g and sodium is effectively nil, so neither plays a part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Sugar Free Motichoor Laddu live up to its claims?
No added sugar and no hydrogenated fat both hold. The fibre, carb and diabetic-friendly claims are true but framed, and the panel still shows 9.7 g natural sugars per 100 g.
- On the packBe careful
“Sugar Free, Zero Sugar”
Added sugar is 0 g, which holds. The panel still shows 9.7 g natural sugars per 100 g, 3.2 g per laddu, so zero sugar is true only for added sugar.
- On the packBe careful
“3X More Fiber”
Fibre is real at 19.09 g per 100 g, 6.3 g per laddu, but the pack names 20.3 g of oligofructose per 100 g, so most of it is added FOS.
- On the packBe careful
“25% Less Carbs”
Carbohydrate is 38.48 g per 100 g. The pack compares against a regular laddu, but no comparison figure for carbs is printed.
- On the packHolds
“NO Hydrogenated Fats”
No hydrogenated fat is listed and trans fat is declared as 0 g. The fat is ghee, which is high in saturated fat.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Diabetic Friendly, Low Glycemic Index”
The retailer page shows these claims, but the pack prints no glycaemic index value. The laddu still has 142 kcal and 12.7 g carbohydrate per serve.
What's in Sugar Free Motichoor Laddu?
Gram flour and ghee lead a short list, with FOS fibre as the sweetening part. Watch the saturated fat from ghee and the laxative effect of FOS.
7 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research. 1 more entry looks like an additive we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Gram flour (besan) leads, followed by ghee, which supplies the richness and most of the fat. Cardamom flavours it, FOS (fructooligosaccharides) is the prebiotic fibre used in place of sugar, and cashew and melon seeds add crunch and fat. A natural colour finishes the list. No ingredient percentages are declared.
Not in our additive research yet: Natural colour.
Ingredients to watch
- Saturated fatConcern
17.88 g per 100 g, mainly from ghee. One 33 g laddu has 5.9 g, about a third of a day's limit.
- CaloriesWorth watching
430 kcal per 100 g, 142 kcal per laddu. Removing sugar did not make it light.
- FOS and laxative effectWorth watching
The pack names 20.3 g oligofructose per 100 g and warns of a laxative effect. A few laddus can cause gas or loose stools.
- Natural sugarsWorth watching
9.7 g per 100 g is declared as natural sugar with 0 g added, so the pack's zero-sugar wording covers added sugar only.
- Clean ingredient listFine
Seven plain ingredients, no hydrogenated fat, no maida, no preservative and no flagged additive.
What it doesn’t have
- No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
- No ingredient percentages are given, so the share of gram flour, ghee and nuts is not known.
What to know about Sugar Free Motichoor Laddu
Sugar free, but still 430 kcal of ghee and besan
Sugar Free Motichoor Laddu from Artinci is a sweet built from gram flour and ghee, flavoured with cardamom and finished with cashew and melon seeds. Instead of sugar it uses FOS (fructooligosaccharides), a prebiotic fibre, and a natural colour. It is bought by people who want a traditional laddu without added sugar. The label gives no ingredient percentages.
The pack prints values per 33 g serve and holds about six serves in 190 g. One serve gives 142 kcal, 1.5 g protein, 6.3 g fibre, 10.1 g fat and 5.9 g saturated fat. Per 100 g that is 430 kcal, 4.55 g protein, 19.09 g fibre, 30.61 g fat and 17.88 g saturated fat, with 0 g added sugar and 9.7 g natural sugars.
The pack is right that no sugar is added, and no hydrogenated fat or maida is listed. What it does not say is that removing sugar leaves a fat-dense sweet: ghee carries most of the calories. CleanPlate scores it CA4.
