There is so much of hype around Jaggery (also known as Gur) nowadays. Some people are happily replacing their all-time favourite tasty White Sugar with Jaggery. Why are people doing so? There must be a reason.

Is Jaggery tastier than refined White Sugar? Perhaps, that’s not the only reason why people are going gaga over this not so modern sweetener. If you flip over the pages of the Food history of India, you will find that Jaggery ruled the world at that time. Soon, the shining white sweet crystals (modern white sugar) took over the good old Jaggery blocks, and why not! Sugar crystals look better and taste fine too. This gleaming sweetener is ruling our kitchen jars nowadays and despite knowing its harmful effects, we are not leaving it. Perhaps, many of us don’t know the difference between White Sugar and Jaggery.

What is Sugar?

Sugar is a sweetener made by refining sugarcane juice to an extent that it becomes crystal white. This substance contains no nutritional value but is super-rich in carbohydrates.

What is Jaggery?

Jaggery is a sweetener made by sugarcane juice and contains traces of vitamins and essential minerals along with carbohydrates. This substance is known to have many nutritional and medical values.

What would you prefer as your daily sweetener? Something full of just calories or something which tastes equally good, equally sweet and also has medicinal properties?
