Summer coolers - Mango Punjabi Lassi
HERE’S WHY JAGGERY IS IMPORTANT EVEN DURING SUMMERS!
- Jaggery is considered to be a winter staple which helps us in keeping our bodies warm but on the contrary- jaggery works wonders even in summers!
- A small piece of jaggery with warm water or a bite or two of jaggery during the day, boosts the energy levels and prevents dehydration.
- Jaggery contains a lot of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, manganese and vitamins such as A, E and C and has a less glycemic index compared to white sugar. It helps boost digestion and gives instant energy.
- Moreover, the fructooligosaccharides present in jaggery act as a prebiotic and feed healthy bacteria in the colon.
