Stevia is a reasonable alternative to sugar and jaggery. It's plant-derived, has close to zero calories, and doesn't raise blood sugar the way sugar or jaggery do.
Next Steps
Check the label if you're buying a stevia blend, since some brands mix in small amounts of other sweeteners or fillers. Pure stevia extract is the better choice.
