    Jaggery Syrup Recipe for Babies, Toddlers kids

    Jaggery Syrup - homemade, healthy sweetener for baby food, porridge's and desserts. Jaggery is a made from the juice of sugar cane and its unrefined, also jaggery is rich in iron as its prepared using large iron vessels hence its an healthy compared to refined white sugar. This jaggery syrup tastes so good and can be easily made at home, Its very handy when making desserts/porridge's.

    This jaggery syrup can be stored in refrigerator and stays good for more than 3 months. But I recommend to make it as small batches and consume with in a month from preparation, in that way we could make sure that it stays fresh. Do check out the dates syrup recipe which I have shared a while ago.

    When jaggery syrup can be introduced to babies?
    Jaggery syrup can be given to babies from 6 months after consulting with your baby's pediatrician. As this syrup contains good amount of iron, it fulfills the iron requirement of baby at this stage and prevents anemia. But giving jaggery /jaggery syrup too often makes the baby sweet tooth. Hence its always recommended to use this jaggery syrup in moderation, you can use it once a week at the max.
    How to choose Jaggery?
    Jaggery Syrup Recipe

    Jaggery is available in three forms: raw melted paste form, cubes and powdered. You can choose jaggery in any form for your food, but make sure its dark colored, organic and aged. Avoid the yellow color jaggery which is more chemically treated!

    How to consume this jaggery syrup?
    You could consume few tea spoons of this homemade jaggery syrup in the below ways:
    • Can be a sweetener for baby/toddler porridge's, kheer, purees etc
    • add it to any breakfast cereal or milk poha.
    • Use as a sweetener for desserts instead of sugar.
