Coconut Jaggery

Coconut Jaggery

Coconut jaggery is a type of sweetener made from the sap of the coconut palm tree. The sap is extracted and then boiled to create a thick, sticky substance, which is then molded into blocks or balls. Coconut jaggery has a distinct caramel-like flavor that is sweet and slightly nutty, and it is often used as a natural sweetener in many South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines. It is also a common ingredient in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, where it is believed to have many health benefits. Coconut jaggery is a healthier alternative to white sugar because it contains more minerals and vitamins, and has a lower glycemic index, which means it does not cause spikes in blood sugar levels.
