Jaggery is a traditional sweetener made from the concentrated juice of sugarcane or date palm
Unlike refined sugar, which undergoes extensive processing, jaggery is minimally processed, retaining more of its natural nutrients.
The process involves boiling the juice until it solidifies, resulting in a block or granulated form of jaggery that can vary in color from golden to dark brown.
Jaggery is a powerhouse of minerals. It contains significant amounts of iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium and zinc.
Jaggery boosts immunity, improves digestion, detoxifies the body and regulates blood sugar levels
Jaggery undergoes minimal processing, retaining more of its natural nutrients, whereas, refined sugar is heavily processed and stripped of almost all nutrients.
Jaggery can be used as a sweetener in tea, coffee, cookies, muffins, cakes, smoothies, sauces, curries and sweets
