How is jaggery made?

Answer 1

Raw, concentrated sugarcane is boiled until it solidifies and can be shaped into blocks of jaggery. You can taste the subtle bitterness from the molasses and the richness of caramel.

Jaggery is said to provide a variety of health benefits, ranging from treating constipation to lowering blood pressure. It is a common belief that eating sugarcane during the winter months gives your immune system a much-required boost. It helps activate the digestive enzymes in our bodies, making it my go-to dessert after every meal. It also helps detoxify your body as it cleanses the liver by emptying out harmful toxins from the body. Amongst the variety of options available, I choose Organic Tattva's Jaggery Powder as it is extracted from the most nutritious sugar canes to ensure that it is free from any chemicals. You can easily order organic jaggery powder online or pick them off the shelf in any leading supermarket.

Answer 2

Jaggery is an unrefined sugar. This basically means that it is "raw" sugar. None of the goodness has been removed. Jaggery itself is an intruiging sweetner, food or cooking agent. People who work in mines in Asia are gived a spoonful of jaggery everyday, because it covers the lungs in a sticky substance, preventing dust from irritating the throat. As well as this Jaggery is extremey high in protein and contains quite large quantities of minerals and vitamins. The only problem with jaggery, like white sugar, is that is high in carbohydrate and fats. It is good for all kinds of people, from anemics to the elderly. However the reason that Jaggery is not a wonder cure for everything is because it can lead to Diabetes and obesity if we had it all the time. After all it is sugar, even though it is a much healthier version.

We live in a time where we have multiple options available for almost everything that’s on the shelf. You go looking for a particular brand, you don’t find it, you settle for another one instead. I too was this way, I tried and tasted the jaggery powder from various brands before I stumbled upon the perfect one. So how do you know which jaggery powder is good, and would be the best option for you? Well, firstly, the texture: it should be smooth like powder without any lumps. Secondly, the taste, jaggery powder must never have the slightest of salty or bitter taste. Lastly, the certification of organic from various sources. If there’s one brand that definitely ticks all the boxes, it’s Organic Tattva. I have been consuming their organic jaggery powder for over 3 months and by far there is no other brand of jaggery powder that even comes close to it. You can learn more about the product on their website.
