Why Choose Us
Promotes Heart Health
Research by the Industrial Technology Institute (ITI) of Sri Lanka, the Department of Chemistry, and the Department of Zoology of Colombo University reveals that consuming kithul treacle and jaggery lowers harmful cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides (TG) while increasing beneficial cholesterol (HDL). This reduces the risk of heart disease, as confirmed by a decrease in the Atherosclerosis Index.
Eliminates Harmful Toxins
Many foods and drinks we consume today may be contaminated with pesticides, arsenic, cadmium, and heavy metals. Kithul products contain plant chemicals that help eliminate these toxins without harming the body.
Prevents Diabetes
The glycaemic index (GI) is a key factor in determining whether a food increases the risk of diabetes. Common sugars we consume, like sucrose, have high GIs (70 for sugar and 65-70 for white bread). Fruits contain fructose, a simple sugar with a GI of 12-25. High GI foods are quickly digested, raising blood glucose levels rapidly, leading to risks of diabetes, heart disease, and weight gain. Kithul treacle and jaggery contain a mix of fructose, sucrose, and glucose, with a GI of around 35. The Diabetes Association states that these are low GI foods, making them safe for diabetic patients.
