About Jaggery
Jaggery is a traditional, unrefined sweetener made from sugarcane juice or palm sap, widely used in South Asian, African, and Southeast Asian cuisines. This golden-brown, nutrient-rich product differs from refined sugar due to its minimal processing, retaining molasses and trace minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. Known for its deep caramel flavor, jaggery is commonly added to desserts, drinks, and savory dishes. Nutritionally, it can provide a quick energy boost and support digestion, thanks to its natural properties. However, jaggery remains a calorie-dense sweetener with a high glycemic index, and its consumption should be moderated, especially for those managing blood sugar levels. As a source of small amounts of antioxidants, jaggery is often preferred over refined sugar in traditional medicine to aid in detoxification and immunity. With its rich flavor and cultural significance, jaggery is a versatile ingredient valued both for its taste and modest health benefits.
