Nutritionist Explains Why Jaggery Is Better Than Sugar

Imagine you have two types of candy: one is like plain white sugar, and the other is jaggery.

The white sugar is like empty fuel for your body; it gives you a quick burst of energy but doesn't have many good things in it.

Jaggery, on the other hand, is also sweet, but it's made in a way that keeps some good stuff like iron and calcium, which are like building blocks for your body.

When you eat jaggery, it gives you energy more slowly, helping you play longer without getting tired too fast.

Jaggery also has tiny helpers called antioxidants that fight off bad guys in your body.

So, while both are sweet, jaggery is like a slightly healthier sweet treat because it offers more benefits than plain sugar.
