Jaggery

Jaggery is a natural, unrefined sweetener derived from sugarcane or palm sap. Known for its rich, caramel-like flavor and golden-brown hue, jaggery is a staple in traditional Indian cuisine and Ayurveda. Unlike refined sugar, jaggery retains essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants, making it a healthier alternative for sweetening dishes and beverages.

Celebrated for its warming properties, jaggery is often used in winter to boost energy and support respiratory health. Its complex flavor profile and nutrient content make it an excellent addition to both sweet and savory recipes.
