Jaggery is a natural, unrefined sweetener made from sugarcane juice or palm sap. It is widely used as a healthier alternative to refined sugar due to its high mineral content and rich, caramel-like taste. Jaggery is commonly consumed in solid, powder, or liquid form and is used in food, beverages, and Ayurvedic medicines.
