My saas got some palm jaggery from her hometown and keeps adding it in my food saying its full of iron. Im 5 months along. Is it actually good or too much sugar for this time? thoda unsure.
Palm jaggery is actually a great alternative to white sugar because it is rich in iron and potassium. Just remember that it is still sugar, so keep the portion size small. Don't go overboard with it.
I have heard so many positive things about palm jaggery for iron deficiency! I am planning to replace my normal sugar with it too. Let me know if you find any good organic brands.
When I was staying at my mom's place, my grandmother used to make milk with palm jaggery for my evening tea. It was so comforting and kept my energy up. It's a lovely traditional food to have.
Beta, karupatti (palm jaggery) is very good for cleansing the body and keeping bones strong. My mother used to give me a small piece after meals. Eat a tiny bit daily, it will help with your digestion and iron levels.
Yes, it is good and much better than regular white sugar. But don't start eating it in huge quantities thinking it's a superfood. Keep it moderate, especially if you have high blood sugar.
After a long IVF journey, I was terrified of eating anything unusual. But my doctor assured me that a little palm jaggery is wonderful for maintaining iron levels. Please enjoy it in small quantities, you are doing wonderfully.
I completely understand how stressful it is to doubt every single thing we put in our mouth, I used to check everything thrice! Palm jaggery is actually very safe and help with digestion, so you can eat a little bit without worrying.
