• To boost immunity: Sukku malli coffee is a delicious traditional South Indian beverage prepared during the winter and monsoon seasons. It is made by steeping palm jaggery, black pepper, coriander powder, and ginger powder in water. The medley of spices and palm jaggery protects you from seasonal ailments. If you have already caught a cold or cough, the drink doubles as a remedy.

• To aid weight loss: Mix half a teaspoon or a teaspoon of palm jaggery in a cup of green tea to bolster weight loss. Green tea contains a type of flavonoid called catechin, a compound that boosts metabolism and breaks down excess fat. Its caffeine increases metabolic activity in the body and reduces appetite, while the potassium in palm jaggery expedites the fat-burning process.
