Go Desi's Classic Kaju Katli is a popular gifting and snacking mithai that appeals to consumers looking for an accessible, branded version of a beloved Indian sweet. With 52% cashew content the nut base is genuinely substantial, delivering moderate protein and some fibre, but the product also carries 39g of added sugar per 100g — making it a high-sugar confection. The most useful thing to know: despite the traditional appearance, the addition of two chemical preservatives (sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate) and a decorative silver leaf whose nanoparticle safety remains unresolved by EFSA pushes this squarely into NOVA 4 ultra-processed territory, which is unusual for a sweet that could plausibly be made with just cashews, sugar, and silver leaf at home.
