Haan beta thoda gud is better than white sugar, helps with iron and digestion. We always had a small piece after food. Bas zyada mat khao.

Trishna Sachdeva · Answer

I had to be careful with all sweets because of sugar issue, jaggery also spikes it. If ur sugar is normal, small amount is fine, but if u have GD pls check with doc first.

Jaggery is good actually, my family always preferred it over sugar. It has iron too. Just in moderate amount, it is still sweet so dont overdo it.
