Jaggery, known as gur in Hindi, is a traditional, unrefined sugar made from sugarcane or palm sap. It's a popular sweetener in many parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America and is widely used in Indian cuisine and Ayurvedic medicine due to its rich nutritional profile and health benefits. Unlike refined sugar, jaggery retains minerals and vitamins present in the plant sap, such as iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
