Abstract:
The study was conducted to know awareness level of urban and rural women regarding nutrients of selected natural sweeteners. Four natural sweeteners i.e. Jaggery, Shakkar, Honey and Stevia were selected for study. The study was conducted on 100 urban and 100 rural women in four districts of Punjab. Data were collected by using interview schedule. Study findings revealed that ninety percent of rural and urban respondents were not aware about stevia. Highest percentage of rural as well as urban respondents had low level of awareness regarding all nutrients of selected natural sweeteners and their nutritional value. So it is suggested that the Professionals who are involved in promotion of organic farming should create awareness among general public.
