My mom keeps giving me gud after meals saying its good for iron and all. Im in my second trimester and just want to be sure its fine to have daily. Anyone else eating jaggery regularly?
Beta gud is good, it has iron and our elders always gave it. Just dont eat too much at once, a small piece is enough. In moderation it is a nice healthy sweet.
My amma always added a little jaggery to my food, she said it gives strength. A small amount daily is fine and quite nourishing. Just dont go overboard dear.
Yes jaggery is fine and a better choice than white sugar. It has iron which is helpful in pregnancy. Just keep the quantity in check, dont overeat because its still sugar.
Jaggery is healthier than sugar but it still raises blood sugar, so be a bit mindful. I had to watch my sugar so i kept it small. If u have any sugar concern, just ask ur doctor about the amount.
Jaggery is such a simple cheap way to get some iron in, i kept a small jar handy. Better than fancy supplements for a little boost, though dont skip ur prescribed iron tablets. Small piece after meals worked for me.
