About

Natural Sweeteners in India — Jaggery, Coconut Sugar & Date Syrup Honey is the sweetener most people reach for when moving away from refined sugar, but it is an animal product. This range covers the plant-based alternatives: organic jaggery and jaggery powder, coconut sugar, date syrup and date sugar, palmyra (nolen) sugar, and monk fruit and stevia blends. How they differ Jaggery. Unrefined cane or palm sugar with the molasses retained, so it carries trace minerals and a distinct caramel note. Substitutes roughly 1:1 for sugar in Indian sweets. Coconut sugar. Made from coconut palm sap, granular and mild. Behaves like brown sugar in baking. Date syrup. Whole-fruit based, adds moisture. Reduce other liquids by about 15% when substituting for sugar in a bake. Stevia and monk fruit. Contribute no calories and no bulk, so they cannot replace sugar in recipes that need structure, such as cakes or caramel. Worth knowing. Jaggery, coconut sugar and date syrup are still sugars nutritionally. They suit people avoiding refined and bleached sugar, not people who need to cut total sugar intake — for that, check the per-serving figure on the pack.
