    Palm Jaggery Syrup Recipe for Babies, Toddlers

    Palm Jaggery Syrup -  a healthy replacement for sugar. Palm Jaggery is a made from the sugary sap of the palm tree, and it is unrefined, and also, palm jaggery is rich in nutrients.

    This palm jaggery syrup can be easily made at home and tastes so great, Its very handy when making desserts/porridges for your baby/toddler. It can be stored in the fridge and stays good for two months. But I recommend to make it as small batches and consume within a month from preparation, in that way we could make sure that it stays fresh.

    When can Palm jaggery syrup be introduced to babies?

    Palm Jaggery syrup can be given to babies from 6 months after consulting with your baby's pediatrician. Don't give palm jaggery syrup regularly as many pediatricians would not recommend giving any kind of sugar till on year. Hence its always suggested using this palm jaggery syrup occasionally while making desserts for baby. For toddlers and kids, you can use this as a healthy substitute for white sugar in any recipe.

    How to choose Palm Jaggery?

    Palm jaggery

    Choose dark-colored palm jaggery with aroma and flavor, and it should not be very hard. You should be able to scrap the palm jaggery easily with a knife/fork. Make sure to buy the palm jaggery from the reliable brand/seller as its adulterated with white sugar/palm sugar and sold in the market.

    How to consume this palm jaggery syrup?

    You could consume a few teaspoons of this homemade palm jaggery syrup in the below ways:
    • Can be a sweetener for baby/toddler desserts, porridge's, kheer, purees, etc
    • It goes well with idli/dosa.
    • Add it to any breakfast cereal or milk poha.
    • Use as a sweetener for desserts instead of sugar.

    Notes :
    • Straining the palm jaggery syrup is vital to remove impurities if any.
    • You can also add dry ginger powder/cardamom powder for flavor after the palm jaggery is melted.
    • Adding more water than mentioned makes the syrup watery, and it takes more time to reach the desired syrup consistency.
    • This jaggery syrup becomes little thick after cooling down so switch it off the flame accordingly. Don't over boil otherwise it would get crystallized.
    • The consistency is crucial for storing the palm jaggery syrup; it should be neither thick nor too runny.
    • Keep it refrigerated and consume within a month or two, use a clean, dry spoon every-time while using.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
