Jaggery for exports

Jaggery or gur refers to the unrefined sugars used widely in the South Asian and South East Asian regions. Per se, it refers to the sugarcane sugar. It is a relatively pure and wholesome sugar, possessing high amounts of nutrients. Traditional Indian medicine or Ayurveda considers jaggery to be the most useful food in the treatment of various lung and throat infections. It is considered a better choice than refined sugars as it is a rich source of iron and other required minerals salts and is, therefore, highly recommended as part of a healthy lifestyle.
