Need some opinions on consuming jaggery.

I live abroad and my grandmom just sent me a package of really pure and good quality jaggery from my home country that she went and bought especially for me to survive through the winters in her late 80s. She also took the time to break it into pieces herself and package it and send it over, and it's breaking my heart seeing it lay around, not being sure about consuming it, because I have been off sugar for more or less a 2 month period now. Will having jaggery bring back my tendency and urges to consume sweeteners and thus eventually sugar? Does it have the same addictive effects?

Looking for some advice if anyone dealt with anything similar.
