Jaggery, locally known as gur, is a traditional natural sweetener used in several Indian delicacies. From time immemorial jaggery has been used not just in the kitchens but also in Ayurvedic medicines.
Jaggery is considered to be a healthier alternative to refined sugar and even several nutritionists and dietitians recommend diabetics, those having high blood sugar level, to replace sugar with jaggery.
