FAQ
Is jaggery healthier than sugar?
Jaggery is a traditional, unrefined sweetener made from the sap or juice of various plants, like sugarcane or date palm. It is considered to be healthier than refined sugar as it is minimally processed and retains more of the natural nutrients present in the original plant. Jaggery contains minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, and potassium, as also small amounts of antioxidants and vitamins. It also has a lower glycemic index, which means it is less likely to cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. However, it is still high in calories and sugar, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. And it’s always a good idea to speak with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet.
What happens if we eat jaggery daily?
Eating jaggery daily in moderate amounts is considered safe for most people. It has several health benefits such as providing energy, minerals, and antioxidants. However, consuming excessive amounts of jaggery can lead to weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, and other health problems. It is also important to note that jaggery is high in calories and sugar, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. It’s always a good idea to speak with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet, especially for people with diabetes or other health conditions that affect blood sugar levels.
