Jaggery: Traditional Sweetener with Global Demand
Jaggery, or "Gur," is a traditional, unrefined natural sweetener made from sugarcane juice or date palm sap. Unlike white sugar, jaggery is processed without chemicals and retains essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and potassium. Used in Indian households for centuries, it is now gaining recognition worldwide for its health benefits and clean-label appeal.
How Jaggery is Made
Jaggery production is a natural, eco-friendly process. Fresh sugarcane juice is filtered and boiled in large iron pans over firewood or bagasse (sugarcane residue). As the juice thickens, impurities are removed and it transforms into a golden-brown concentrate. This thickened syrup is poured into molds for solid jaggery (blocks, cubes, powder) or bottled directly as liquid jaggery, a semi-viscous sweetener used in beverages and health tonics.
Types of Jaggery
- Solid Jaggery: In cube, block, or powder form, commonly used in sweets and cooking.
- Liquid Jaggery (Kakavi): A thick syrup with a longer shelf life and strong demand in Ayurvedic and health food markets.
Common Uses
- Culinary: Enhances taste in Indian sweets, desserts, and traditional recipes.
- Beverages: Used in jaggery tea, herbal kadha, and fermented drinks.
- Ayurveda: Promotes digestion, boosts immunity, and acts as a natural detoxifier.
- Industry: Used in alcoholic beverage production, cattle feed, and tobacco.
