Gulkand vs. Rose Petal Jam: What’s the Real Difference?
In the world of rose-based delicacies, Gulkand and rose petal jam often get mistaken for one another. While they might look similar, there’s a world of difference between the two—especially when it comes to health benefits, ingredients, and how they’re made.
Whether you’re looking to buy gulkand online, explore the benefits of organic gulkand without sugar, or simply curious about what sets the best gulkand apart, this guide will help you make an informed (and tasty!) decision.
🌹 What is Gulkand?
Gulkand is an ancient Ayurvedic preparation made from fresh Damask rose petals and natural sweeteners. Traditionally sun-cooked over several days, gulkand is known for its cooling properties, digestive benefits, and use as a natural energy booster.
At Daily Farmer, we make our gulkand using only farm-grown Damask roses, pure forest honey, and natural dry fruits, slowly sun-cooked for weeks to lock in all the goodness. This is not your average rose preserve—this is rose gulkand at its finest.

🍯 What is Rose Petal Jam?
On the other hand, rose petal jam (often labeled similarly) is usually a commercial product made with rose flavor, refined sugar, and preservatives. It may taste sweet and look pretty, but it lacks the Ayurvedic value, slow preparation process, and natural ingredients that make real gulkand special.
Many rose jams are boiled instead of sun-cooked, and the rose petals used are not always of the Damask variety, which is prized for both its aroma and health benefits.
