Wondering why Gur/Jaggery is so popular? Or why your Grandma swears by gur ?

Jaggery/ Gur - Wondering why our elders eat meals with Gur?
One of the most popular sweetener of India, Jaggery/Gud, provides numerous health benefits:
- Good digestion
- Clear respiratory system
- Glowing skin

What's the science though?
Jaggery contains minerals such as iron, magnesium and zinc along with anti-oxidants which boosts resistance against infection. It also activates digestive enzymes, thus preventing constipation as well as naturally produces heat in our body, helping us fight cold and flu.

P.S. It also stimulates the release of endorphins - the happy hormones :)

Wondering how to fit it in your daily diet?
- Substitute the sugar in your tea or coffee with jaggery
- Add it to vour breakfast cereal
- Or try a meal of jaggery rice/ chapati

Thank me later 👋
