As much as Agra is identified with the Taj Mahal, it’s also the pride of Panchi Petha. Today the name of ‘Panchi‘ has reached not only all over India but also to foreign countries. In 1926, Shri Panchmalal or Panchilal had laid the foundation of Panchi Petha, which is now popular as ‘Panchi Foods’. Gaurav Goel, owner of Panchi Petha, told Panchjanya that quality is what makes a brand name and he believes in increasing it progressively. Petha here is very much liked in India as well as in the US, Canada, Britain and West Asian countries.
Experts say that Petha is not only liked for taste, but it is equally liked for its health properties. Its effect on keeping the stomach cool, controlling blood pressure and nutritional properties makes it a favourite. A total of 18 varieties of Petha are made by Panchi, in which the best selling plain Pethas are Paan Petha, Chocolate Petha, Melona Petha, Angoori Petha, Kesar Petha, Shahi Angoori, Cherry Petha, Gulab Laddu. Along with this, there are 31 varieties of Namkeen.
