Natural jaggery or unrefined cane sugar is rich in minerals naturally found in sugar cane. It also adds a beautiful flavour to anything that it sweetens.
Jaggery is made from sugar cane juice which is boiled into a concentrate. This is a much healthier alternative to white sugar for the following reasons.
Jaggery is unrefined which means it has more nutrients (minerals) than white sugar
Jaggery is traditionally used in Ayurveda for its health benefits
Jaggery is chemical-free as it's not refined using a chemical treatment
Above all, it is super delicious compared to refined white sugar.
