Peer-reviewed research, glycemic index data, and nutritional comparisons — everything you need to make an informed switch from refined sugar.
Shop Our Products →The Glycemic Index (GI) measures how quickly a food raises blood sugar. Lower is always better. Natural sweeteners consistently outperform refined sugar.

Jaggery retains the minerals eliminated during sugar refining. Here's what you get per 100g of raw jaggery vs. refined sugar.
Supports haemoglobin production and reduces anaemia risk. Refined sugar has virtually none.
Critical for heart function, muscle contraction, and blood pressure regulation.
Supports bone density, nerve signalling, and muscle health. Absent in refined sugar.
Jaggery contains phenolic compounds that act as antioxidants — completely absent in refined sugar.
We don't make health claims without citations. These are the key papers that inform our formulations and quality standards.
Studies confirm coconut palm sugar has a GI of ~35 compared to sucrose at 65, largely attributed to its inulin fibre content that slows glucose absorption.
View on PubMed ↗Jaggery retains 11 mg iron, 300 mg potassium, and significant phenolic antioxidants per 100g — all eliminated during the refining process.
View on PubMed ↗Monk fruit's sweet compounds (mogrosides) are zero-GI, potently antioxidant, and safe at culinary doses per FDA GRAS status.
View on PubMed ↗Palm jaggery has a significantly lower GI (~41) than cane jaggery and retains calcium, iron, and phosphorus from the palm sap.
View on PubMed ↗Dates and date-derived sweeteners have a moderate GI (~47–50) with significant fibre that slows glucose absorption relative to sucrose.
View on PubMed ↗Steviol glycosides are zero-calorie, zero-GI, and classified safe by JECFA, FDA, and EFSA at typical dietary intake levels.
