The yellowish colour may indicate chemical treatment.   Benefits of using jaggery : Generates heat inside the body Boosts immunity within the body Prevents constipation and enhances the production of digestive enzymes Helps in preventing joint pain Detoxifies the body Rich in iron contents, prevents anemia Boosts body metabolism
