Jaggery Powder - Gor

Jaggery is an unrefined, granular, natural sweetener made from concentrated sugarcane juice (or sometimes palm sap).  Known as a healthier, nutrient-rich alternative to white sugar, it has a deep, caramel-molasses flavour.  Jaggery contains minerals like iron, magnesium, potassium and antioxidants as it is not stripped of these nutrients during the refining process.  It also regulates liver function, improves digestion, boost immunity and prevent anemia.

Traditionally used in Indian cuisine and in the preparation of various sweet dishes and curries.

Despite its nutritional value, Jaggery has a high glycemic index and caloric value similar to sugar, so it should be consumed in moderation, especially by people with diabetes.

Jaggery can be used as a sugar substituted for cooking, baking or a natural sweetener for tea and coffee and deserts.
