Palm Jaggery

Palm jaggery, also known as palm sugar or gur, is a natural sweetener made from the sap of various species of palm trees. The sap is extracted by tapping the flower buds of the palm tree, and then it is concentrated to form a thick, dark brown, concentrated product1. Unlike refined sugar, palm jaggery retains its natural nutrients, making it a healthier alternative. It is rich in vitamins and minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, and small amounts of B-vitamins. Palm jaggery has a lower glycemic index compared to refined sugar, meaning it has a slower and steadier impact on blood sugar levels. This makes it a better option for individuals with diabetes or those seeking to manage their blood sugar
