How does jaggery powder differ from white sugar?
Unlike chemically refined sugar, our jaggery retains natural molasses, fibres, and 18+ minerals. It metabolises slowly, preventing energy crashes.
Can people with diabetes consume this?
While lower-glycemic than sugar, moderate use (ā¤1 tsp/day) is advised. Consult your physician for personalised guidance.
Why choose powder over solid jaggery?
Powder dissolves instantly in liquids, offering precise dosing. No grating or messy chopping is required!
How should I use it in baking?
Substitute 1:1 for sugar. Reduce the liquid slightly, as jaggery tends to add moisture. Expect a beautiful caramel hue.
Is it suitable for vegan diets?
Absolutely - 100% plant-based with no bone char (unlike some refined sugars).
Why does Ayurveda prefer jaggery over honey?
Jaggery is Sheeta Virya (cooling energy), making it safer for daily use. Honey becomes toxic when heated.
Does it help with "sugar cravings"?
Yes! Its mineral richness satisfies nutritional deficiencies that drive cravings.
What's the shelf life?
18 months when stored airtight. Natural oils may cause mild clumping - break apart with a spoon.
