Q. Is it safe to consume liquid jaggery?

Answer

Yes about 10 grams of jaggery after each meal is what experts prescribe. The 16 milligrams (mg) of minerals included in every 10 grams of jaggery suggests that eating just one serving of jaggery once a day can meet 4 percent of our recommended daily mineral intake. Patients with diabetes frequently resort to dietary sweeteners to satisfy their cravings for sweets. The amount of sugar in 10 grams of jaggery is between 65 and 85 percent. That's why it's discouraged as a frequent food choice for persons with diabetes. Even Ayurveda advises against its use by diabetics.
