Dinka or edible gum resin laddoos are an excellent source of calcium, magnesium and protein. Made in winters for their healthy, body-warming properties, these are a favourite with pregnant women to keep their bones strong and back fortified. Rich with mixed nuts as well, these laddoos make a perfect snack for growing children too. Made without using sugar, these laddoos can be eaten by diabetics too, after consulting their doctors, that is.
