Рецепт Simple Karupatti Coffee | Coffee Flavored With Palm Jaggery
Karupatti coffee; this is not the authentic version but the simplest easiest coffee drink where I have replaced sugar with palm jaggery. Believe me this coffee so refreshing and better in terms of health, than sugar flavored one. Palm Jaggery is one of the best and healthiest substitute for sugar and is a good mineral source. Sugar has said to be very harmful and reading recent researches regarding those drastic effects that sugar can cause is really troubling. I recently read an article and found that sugar is the major cause for obesity, this is one old found fact but the newest and shocking fact is, sugar tends to feed cancer, isn't that sounding too scary? Also sugar weakens eyesight, causes decreased activity, hypertension, causes cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis. Overall I guess sugar is disaster disguised in sweetness. So when we have so much of controversies going on its better to skip sugar and replace it with some healthy sweetener. It is not necessary to totally forget the sweet flavor, we definitely need different flavors, so instead of fully forbidding it replacing will be the better idea. I would go for honey or palm jaggery. Palm jaggery preparation does not involve any chemicals processing, hence unrefined, is purely natural, aids in digestion, cleanses system, has antioxidants, promotes muscle, nerve and organ health and is rich in nutrients and vital minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium. With coffee, palm jaggery goes really well, karupatti is even said to relieve migraines, so why wait for do try and let me know how refreshing it was? Do not try with instant coffee powders, the taste will not be that good.
