Overview

Jaggery (Brown Sugar) is a pure, wholesome, unrefined sugar used in cooking to replace conventional sugar to give a natural sweetness to the dish.  It has wonderful rich fudge like flavour somewhere between molasses and caramel and can be used to replace cane sugar in all baking, cooking and culinary uses.

It is made from sugar cane – with the juice extracted and then boiled to eliminate the live enzymes.  It is then laid into cooling vats where it is dried and then sold in blocks.  It contains the natural goodness of vitamins and minerals inherently present in sugarcane as it is unprocessed unlike sugar which contains sulphur dioxide, lime, phosphoric acid, formic acid, and bleaching agents. It has been used in Indian cooking for centuries and is a staple in many traditional dishes. Its unique flavour adds depth and complexity to dishes, making it a sought-after ingredient among chefs and home cooks alike. It is often used in desserts like jaggery rice pudding or jaggery syrup poured over pancakes or waffles.

Aside from its delicious taste, it also boasts numerous health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants and minerals such as iron, potassium, and magnesium. Some studies suggest that jaggery may have anti-inflammatory properties and can aid in digestion.

In addition to its culinary uses, it is also used in traditional medicine in many countries. It is believed to boost immunity, improve respiratory health, and even balance hormonal levels.

By incorporating jaggery into your cooking, you can not only enjoy its delightful flavour but also reap its potential health benefits.
