Ceylon Natural Home Made Palm Jaggery Kithul Hakuru (Sugar Substitute) Effective Healthy Benifits
WHAT IS KITHUL JAGGERY?
Kithul Jaggery is made of the sap collected from the flower of the fishtail palm or jaggery palm (Caryota urens). It's a solid sweet typically found in the shape of half a globe diagonally cut in the middle - thanks to the molds fashioned out of coconut shells into which the jaggery palm flower sap boiled beyond the point of treacle is poured to cool off and solidify - with a melting sweetness.
It's a food sweetener, Ayurvedic medicine and a dessert by itself. It's recognised as a healthier substitute for refined sugar, which explains how it has come to be frequently associated with Ceylon tea and other herbal infusions such as Belimal (Aegle marmelos) and Ranawara (Senna auriculata).
