    Jaggery Syrup - homemade, healthy sweetener for baby food, porridge's and desserts.

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.
