Question

Dear Lybrate User , 
Gud Gajak is absolutely good for health because it is prepared from pretty good things with lot of nutrients like Gud - Source of iron ,Tila , Peanut , Dryfruits ,Ghee etc. So any one can take this without any doubt but only one/two piece. 
In Maharashtra we called it as Chikki.
For any further clinical assistant kindly revert back to me.

Gajak is made by jaggery and peanuts or some other nuts/seeds like sesame seeds etc and each ingredient has its own role in a gajak, but since you emphasized on gudd. Gudd or (Jaggery) as we call it is a non refined form of sugar and it definitely has more nutritive value than sugars and rich source of Iron. 10 grams Jaggery provides about 38 calories and contains about 97 percent sugar content. It is a better option than white refined sugar because it retains some minerals than refined sugar. Jaggery may also contain small amounts of B vitamins and minerals, including calcium, zinc, phosphorus and copper. So it is definitely a better option than refined white sugar. And some studies have shown that it helps in detox process of the body.
