Hello @SholaIB ,
Jaggery is basically unrefined sugar extracted from Cane or Palm juice. Both taste different and have unique flavour. Jaggery is full of vitamins and hence preferred more over Sugar for health reasons.
In the Ayurveda Jaggery is considered to be as a cure for a lot of health problems. This is very good for maintaining the digestive system healthy and increasing the immunity of the body.
Use of Jaggery or Jaggery based food items in winter is very good for health.
I have tried to capture three varieties of Jaggery in the photos in this post as were readily available in my home. Their captions explain about the pictures.
Photo1: Group of blocks of Light brown Jaggery made up of brown sugar
Photo2: Dark brown block of Jaggery made
up of Palm
Photo3: Crushed Jaggery called Jaggery Powder
Hope you find this reply useful.
JAI HO!!!
