Tag: Sukku coffee

Recent meta-analyses suggest that ginger, a primary ingredient in Sukku coffee, can help reduce fasting blood glucose levels and A1C in some individuals with type 2 diabetes. This has led many to question: is Sukku coffee good for diabetes, or does its traditional preparation method pose risks to blood sugar management?

Despite its misleading name, Sukku coffee is famously caffeine-free, offering a healthy herbal alternative to traditional caffeinated beverages. This traditional South Indian drink is a decoction made from dried ginger and a blend of other spices, not coffee beans, making it a popular choice for those seeking to reduce their caffeine intake.

Did you know that dried ginger can be up to four times more potent than its fresh counterpart? Known as 'sukku' in Tamil, this versatile powder is a staple in Ayurvedic and Siddha medicine, celebrated for its concentrated warmth and healing properties.
