Based on the above data, it is true that jaggery has about 10x more antioxidants than brown sugar (the real kind), but that?s only high on a relative basis.
When you view the antioxidant properties of sugarcane extracts like these, they appear potent relative to sweet fruit like raisins, oranges, and prunes. The ORAC for molasses seems particular impressive, but it?s not fair to compare any of these side by side.
For one, any fresh fruit will be lower than dry extract solids. The ORAC values for sugarcane extracts, like molasses, often boast the ORAC value of the dry solids. That?s not a fair comparison to a fruit, which still contains a lot of water.
It is like comparing fresh basil with an ORAC of 4,805 and dried basil which is 61,063. The reason the dried is higher is because the water content has been removed and hence, there is a great concentration of antioxidants per gram.
ORAC uses the same serving size (100 grams) for all foods tested. That includes when the comparisons are fresh fruits versus dry sugarcane extracts.
100 grams is about 3.5 ounces. You can eat 3.5 ounces of blueberries, no problem. Try eating 3.5 ounces of a dried molasses and you will have a horrendous sugar crash. People only eat a spoon or two at a time, not 3.5 ounces of it! A cup cake won?t even contain that much sweetener.
In short, both brown sugar and jaggery are not good sources of antioxidants, because their serving size is so small. Eating them in abundance to get a decent amount of antioxidants would be a terrible idea, due to the glycemic impact that would have.
