Jaggery is a sweetener that’s becoming popular as a “healthy” replacement for sugar.
More nutritious than refined white sugar and a suitable substitute sweetener, jaggery may also offer several health benefits.
These may include improved digestive health and liver detoxification.
About 70% of the world’s jaggery production takes place in India, where it is commonly called “gur.”
