Jaggery is a traditional non-centrifugal cane sugar consumed in the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is a concentrated product of cane juice and often date or palm sap without separation of the molasses and crystals, and can vary from golden brown to dark brown in colour.

It acts as a detox, as it helps cleanse the liver by flushing out nasty toxins from the body. Jaggery is loaded with antioxidants and minerals like zinc and selenium, which help prevent free-radicals (responsible for early ageing). It helps boost resistance against infections, hence building stronger immunity.

One of the best substitutes for white sugar, natural brown sugar is packed with nutrients. The natural sweetener blends well with homemade chai mixtures. Organic powdered sugar is popularly used as icing sugar for baking. Cultivated with controlled organic farming practices, it is a good substitute for table sugar.
