Adding jaggery to cakes and muffins provides numerous health benefits, including improved digestion, boosted immunity, better skin, and regulated blood sugar, making it a healthier alternative

The article from Moneycontrol discusses the health benefits of using jaggery instead of sugar in baking cakes and muffins. Jaggery, a traditional non-centrifugal cane sugar consumed in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, offers several advantages over refined sugar. It is rich in iron, which can help combat anemia, and contains other minerals like magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. Jaggery has a lower glycemic index than sugar, which means it releases energy more slowly, helping to control blood sugar levels more effectively. This makes it beneficial for those managing diabetes. Additionally, jaggery aids in digestion due to its natural enzymes, helps in detoxifying the liver, and can act as a natural sweetener that also provides warmth to the body, potentially aiding in the relief of menstrual cramps and boosting immunity. The article also suggests home remedies involving jaggery for controlling blood sugar and pressure, emphasizing its role in a balanced diet.
