100’s of Millions of Vegetarians in India Don’t Take Vitamin B-12 Supplements!?<\/strong><\/p>\nIn fact, boosting your B-12 can be safe and natural. You don\u2019t need to eat animal products or even take supplements to maintain your vital energy! Many vegans and vegetarians alike rely on the ancient Ayurvedic superfood Jaggery as a primary source of vitamin B-12. Jaggery is wildly popular in India; yet its amazing health benefits and medicinal properties are not common knowledge in the western world.<\/p>\n

Jaggery is a natural sweetener found all over India and other parts of Asia, and is commonly obtained from raw, concentrated sugar cane juice, the sap from palm trees or sometimes from dates.\u00a0 It is prepared by boiling the juice or sap until it has reduced and solidified.\u00a0 Typically, it is unrefined, which ensures that it maintains all of its natural properties and health benefits. \u00a0The older the jaggery, the more medicinal it is (darker, older jaggery has more medicinal properties than younger, lighter jaggery).<\/p>\n
Yet, while all types of Jaggery have numerous health benefits, it is Palm Jaggery that is the most prized for its vitamin B-12 content.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.106″ background_color=”#ffffff” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”|20px|20px|20px” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Facts” _builder_version=”3.0.105″ custom_padding=”90px|0px|90px|0px” prev_background_color=”#f9f2f2″ next_background_color=”#000000″][et_pb_row custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px|” custom_margin=”|||” background_color=”#f9f2f2″ padding_top_1=”130px” padding_right_1=”30px” padding_left_1=”50px” padding_right_2=”30px” padding_1_tablet=”130px|50px||50px” padding_2_tablet=”|0px||” padding_1_last_edited=”on|desktop” padding_2_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”3.0.105″ box_shadow_style=”preset4″ box_shadow_horizontal=”0px” box_shadow_vertical=”100px” box_shadow_color=”#ffffff” box_shadow_position=”inner”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.106″]<\/p>\n

Palm Jaggery is similar to a Jaggery made from sugarcane juice, but is instead made from the sap extract<\/span> of Palm Trees. This Jaggery has a rich earthy taste reminiscent of chocolate and is processed from the unfermented Palmyra Tree<\/em> sap, also known as Neera<\/em>.<\/p>\nWhile the Northern states of India prefer sugarcane Jaggery (still far superior to processed cane sugar), Palmyra Jaggery is most popular in the southern states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh where it is used in all kinds of sweet dishes and also in temples for prasadam (food used as offerings to the Gods and consumed after ritual ceremony)<\/em>.<\/p>\nJaggery has been used in India for centuries as a nutrient-rich sweetener and unlike white sugar, which is often processed with chemicals and devoid of nutrients; Jaggery, on<\/strong>\u00a0the other hand, is processed without any chemicals or artificial ingredients. As such, it is rich in vitamins and minerals.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”About Recipe” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ background_size=”initial” custom_padding=”5px|0px|19px|0px” custom_padding_tablet=”||0px|” prev_background_color=”#fcf7d9″ next_background_color=”#f9f2f2″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.105″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ text_font=”Cormorant Garamond||||||||” text_font_size=”26px” text_text_color=”#1e1e1e” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”Cormorant Garamond|600|||||||” header_3_font_size=”36px” header_3_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||15px|” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”3.0.105″ header_font=”Cormorant Garamond|700|||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_font_size=”64px” animation_style=”fade”]<\/p>\n

Palm Jaggery is known to activate the digestive enzymes, and is thus used as a digestive after heavy meals in many parts of India. Moreover, its high fiber content helps to cleanse the digestive tract. It is also used in ayurvedic healing<\/a> for treating constipation, menstrual cramps, respiratory disorders, and anemia. It is also considered a relaxant and is often given to new lactating mothers (human & cow) to provide calcium and essential vitamins & minerals post birth.
\n<\/em><\/p>\nWhen it comes to sugar alternatives, Palmyra Jaggery is unparalleled as it has 24 nutrients including Vitamin B12, other B vitamins, Iron, Potassium & Magnesium, among others. It is something Indians have been using in a vegetarian diet for centuries without the need for B-12 supplements.<\/p>\n

Vitamin B12 is essential to human health. It is responsible for helping to make DNA and for keeping the bodies nerve and blood cells healthy. \u00a0Side effects of a vitamin B12 deficiency can be very serious. It is the one vitamin that vegans and vegetarians struggle to get from food alone. Many know that Vitamin B12 is found in animal products such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk and other dairy products, and is not commonly present in plant foods.

Did you know that it is actually bacteria that produce Vitamin B12?<\/h3>\n
This means all animals, humans included, must obtain B12 directly or indirectly from bacteria. Contrary to popular belief, it is not produced by animals and therefore, it does not mean it is necessary to eat animal products in order to consume it.<\/p>\n
The bacteria that produce\u00a0B12 can be found in organic soil, manure, natural water sources and in the intestinal tracts of grazing animals and at times, in that of humans. \u00a0Animals naturally acquire it from the ground as they graze. By ingesting small amounts of soil that contains vitamin B12, they actually accumulate this bacteria throughout their lives, resulting in their bodies containing high levels of the vitamin. \u00a0However, modern farming practices are so far removed from nature, that the animals, in fact, don\u2019t take in B12 from grazing. Instead, their animal feed is often supplemented with vitamin B12 in order to keep them healthy, similarly to humans, as they also need it to function properly.<\/p>\n
Mainstream information leads us to believe that we need animal products for vitamin B12, but this not the case.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn the past when we lived a more natural life and ate foods straight from the ground without using chemicals to wash them, vitamin B12 was more reliably present in plant foods, because we consumed it by eating roots and plants that were free of soaps, sprays and chemicals.\u00a0 However, because we now\u00a0heavily clean and sanitize our produce, as well as expose our soils to antibiotics and pesticides, most plant foods are \u2018sterile\u2019 and can no longer be considered a reliable source of this bacterial product.<\/p>\n

Some of the best natural sources of Vitamin B12 are Palmyra Jaggery, certain seaweeds & algae and nutritional yeast. \u00a0Fortified foods such as\u00a0alternative\u00a0milks\u00a0(almond, rice, soy etc.), breakfast cereals and alternative meat substitutes are also considered to be good sources of B-12 \u2013 yet they are not 100% natural.<\/p>\n
Still, many yogis and vegetarians in India rely on jaggery as their primary source of B12 due to its incredible health benefits. Jaggery is very affordable and can be easily found and purchased online through many different health food suppliers. It can also be found in small Indian grocery shops, which are quite common in larger cities throughout the world.<\/p>\n

palm trees or sometimes from dates.\u00a0 It is prepared by boiling the juice or sap until it has reduced and solidified.\u00a0 Typically, it is unrefined, which ensures that it maintains all of its natural properties and health benefits. \u00a0The older the jaggery, the more medicinal it is (darker, older jaggery has more medicinal properties than younger, lighter jaggery).<\/p>\n Yet, while all types of Jaggery have numerous health benefits, it is Palm Jaggery that is the most prized for its vitamin B-12 content.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.106″

Contrary to popular belief, it is not produced by animals and therefore, it does not mean it is necessary to eat animal products in order to consume it.<\/p>\n The bacteria that produce\u00a0B12 can be found in organic soil, manure, natural water sources and in the intestinal tracts of grazing animals and at times, in that of humans. \u00a0Animals naturally acquire it from the ground as they graze. By ingesting small amounts of soil that contains vitamin B12, they actually accumulate this bacteria throughout their lives, resulting in their bodies containing high levels of the vitamin. \u00a0However, modern farming practices are so far removed from nature, that the animals, in fact, don\u2019t take in B12 from grazing. Instead, their animal feed is often supplemented with vitamin B12 in order to keep them healthy, similarly to humans, as they also need it to function properly.<\/p>\n Mainstream information leads us to believe that we need animal products for vitamin B12, but this not the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n In the past when we lived a more natural life and ate foods straight from the ground without using chemicals to wash them, vitamin B12 was more reliably present in plant foods, because we consumed it by eating roots and plants that were free of soaps, sprays and chemicals.\u00a0 However, because we now\u00a0heavily clean and sanitize our produce, as well as expose our soils to antibiotics and pesticides, most plant foods are \u2018sterile\u2019 and can no longer be considered a reliable source of this bacterial product.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.106″ background_color=”#ffffff” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”|20px|20px|20px” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”About Recipe” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ background_size=”initial” custom_padding=”5px|0px|3px|0px” custom_padding_tablet=”||0px|” prev_background_color=”#f9f2f2″ next_background_color=”#000000″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.105″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ text_font=”Cormorant Garamond||||||||” text_font_size=”26px” text_text_color=”#1e1e1e” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”Cormorant Garamond|600|||||||” header_3_font_size=”36px” header_3_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||15px|” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”3.0.105″ header_font=”Cormorant Garamond|700|||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_font_size=”64px” animation_style=”fade”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.105″ text_font=”Cormorant Garamond|500|||||||” text_font_size=”24px” text_text_color=”#1e1e1e” text_line_height=”1.6em” text_orientation=”center” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%”]<\/p>\n Some of the best natural sources of Vitamin B12 are Palmyra Jaggery, certain seaweeds & algae and nutritional yeast. \u00a0Fortified foods such as\u00a0alternative\u00a0milks\u00a0(almond, rice, soy etc.), breakfast cereals and alternative meat substitutes are also considered to be good sources of B-12 \u2013 yet they are not 100% natural.<\/p>\n Still, many yogis and vegetarians in India rely on jaggery as their primary source of B12 due to its incredible health benefits.
