Pure liquid jaggery is specially stored and included in daily diet to ease the pregnancy difficulties. This practice is widely followed in Costal Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and some southern part of India.

Health benefits are

  • Builds immunity
  • Strengthening of bone and teeth (vitamins and minerals strengthen their bones and teeth in the early stage of growth)
  • Increases blood count
  • Removes tiredness and energizes the body
  • Good treatment for flu and cold (jaggery with hot water regulates the body temperature)
  • Prevents Constipation - aids in digestion by activating digestive enzymes in the stomach

Hence it is advisable to give pure liquid jaggery to kids as a healthy substitute for sugar.
