What is Jaggery?
Jaggery is a natural, unrefined sweetener made from sugarcane juice or palm sap. Unlike processed sugar, jaggery retains essential nutrients and minerals, giving it a rich, caramel-like flavor and a golden color. It’s been used for centuries in traditional cuisines and remedies, prized not only for its sweetness but also for its health benefits and connection to natural, sustainable production methods.
