Desi khand, also known as Khandsari sugar or Muscovado sugar, is a natural sweetener with several potential health benefits. Unlike refined white sugar, it retains some of the sugarcane's natural nutrients, including minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. It also has a lower glycemic index than refined sugar, potentially helping to regulate blood sugar levels.

    Desi khand is a good source of minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These minerals are essential for various bodily functions, including maintaining bone health, regulating blood pressure, and boosting immunity. 
     
Lower glycemic index:
Desi khand has a lower glycemic index compared to refined sugar. This means it's absorbed into the bloodstream more slowly, potentially helping to prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. 
 
Good for digestion:
Desi khand is believed to aid digestion due to its natural molasses content. 
 
Traditional uses:
In Ayurvedic practices, Desi khand is used to balance the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and may help with digestive issues. 
 
Natural sweetener:
Desi khand can be used as a natural sweetener in various recipes, providing a more wholesome alternative to refined white sugar.
