Jaggery , Gud is made from sugarcane juice. We can say it is kind of a raw sugar. Jaggery is undoubtedly healthier than refined sugar so we should use more jaggery instead of sugar. Nowadays jaggery powder is also available easily so we can easily replace it with sugar. There are two types of jaggery available. Chemical free jaggery is darker than regular jaggery but it is advisable to use chemical free jaggery.
Jaggery is iron rich and helps to keep our body warm. It not only helps in cough and cold but it also helps in digestion , acidity etc.
Masala gud is winter special delicacy from North India, specially Punjab. It is very easy to make but very much healthy. It is prepared by melting jaggery and adding some spices,seeds and nuts. Apart from having it in winter, it is good for new lactating mothers for energy and warmth after delivery of baby. Almost all ingredients used in this healthy recipe are available in our kitchen.
