Jaggery

Jaggery is a natural sweetener made from concentrated sugarcane or palm sap. It is produced by boiling the juice until most of the water evaporates, resulting in a dense, solid mass. Unlike refined sugar, jaggery retains some natural minerals and nutrients, giving it a rich, earthy flavor. It is commonly used in cooking, baking, and traditional sweets across various cultures, especially in India. Jaggery is considered healthier than refined sugar because of its additional minerals like iron and magnesium, and it provides a natural sweetness with a distinct, robust taste.
