Jaggery

Jaggery, often referred to as “natural sugar,” is an unrefined sweetener made from sugarcane juice or palm sap. Popular in South Asia, Africa, and Latin America, jaggery is known for its rich caramel-like flavor, golden brown color, and numerous health benefits. Unlike refined sugar, jaggery retains its natural molasses content, making it a healthier alternative. It is widely used in desserts, beverages, and savory dishes and is also prized for its medicinal properties in Ayurveda.
