does jaggery contain sugar - #36129
I am really confused about something and hope someone can help. Lately, I’ve been trying to eat healthier and cut out processed sugar, you know? I’ve switched to a lot of natural alternatives like honey and fruits, and I’ve heard that jaggery is a good option too, right? But here’s the catch — does jaggery contain sugar? I mean, like, I read that it’s made from sugarcane or something, but people say it’s better for you or has more nutrients than regular sugar. Last week, I bought some jaggery blocks and made this amazing warm drink with it but then I started feeling all guilty, wondering if I’m just swapping one sugar for another. I sometimes get these sugar crashes, and honestly, it’s the worst! My friend said it’s healthier and offers some vitamins besides just sweetening stuff, but that’s still sugar, right? Feel like I’m in a sugar dilemma over here! Any insights on whether using jaggery will help or if it’s basically the same as using white sugar? Does jaggery contain sugar that influences blood sugar levels too? Just trying to untangle this whole thing before I end up going around in circles. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
