Jaggery is as an Energy Food: We know that carbohydrates, consumed
with our food, give us energy on oxidation. The simpler the
carbohydrate, the sooner the energy released. On one hand, this
simplicity comes as a blessing for athletes and people suffering from
serious fatigue, because they need instantaneous energy. So sugar and
glucose is for them, because they are very simple carbohydrates and are
absorbed in the blood stream almost instantaneously and fills you with a
sudden burst of energy. But then, on the other hand, researches show
and doctors advise that this sudden rise in sugar or energy level can be
a major threat for the internal organs, particularly in case of
diabetics.
Unlike sugar, jaggery is very rich in minerals, predominantly iron
with traces of other mineral salts. While most of the iron in it comes
through its low processing, the other minerals come right from the sugar
cane juice, since this juice does not undergo refining or bleaching of
any kind. So, jaggery is a very good source of minerals for the body. In
some cases, jaggery is less likely to give you acidity when compared to
sugar. There is no good explanation for this, but this is seen often.
Even doctors suggest switching over to jaggery when somebody is having
acidity due to sugar.
