I've stopped sugar mostly and switched to gud in my tea and after meals. My MIL says jaggery is much better and helps with iron na. But im in second trimester and dont want to overdo it. How much is okay?
It has iron and is a better choice than refined sugar. I added it in moderation. If you have any sugar concern just check with your doctor first, otherwise its fine.
In our home gud with a little ghee after meals was always given to pregnant ladies, helps digestion and warmth. Take a small piece only beta, it is sweet so dont eat too much.
Jaggery is healthier than white sugar yes, but please dont think its sugar free. I had GD so I had to watch even gud. If your sugar is normal then small amount is totally fine, just keep it limited.
