Mr Varun, Thanks for the query. Jaggery and sugar both are same in terms of carbohydrate conten, as both are sucrose only. Only difference is in the making. Jaggery is made by simply boilling the sugar caine juice, without adding any chemicals. So considered as much better for use. It also supposed to have some vitamins and antioxidants. WHere as sugar is purely sucrose. If you want to use both that can be done. Thanks.
