Sweetener
No Sulphur or Bleaching
Desi khand, jaggery, and honey.
Desi khand keeps its minerals -- iron, magnesium, and calcium that heavy refining strips out of white sugar. No sulphur or bleaching agents go into it either, which is why it stays a natural light brown instead of pure white. Still mostly sucrose though, so enjoy it in moderation, the same as any sugar -- especially if you're managing diabetes.
Desi khand and jaggery can replace sugar in most recipes — start with a little less, since they're often sweeter by volume than refined sugar.
