What Is Jaggery?

Jaggery is an unrefined sugar product made in Asia and Africa.

It’s sometimes referred to as a “non-centrifugal sugar,” because it’s not spun during processing to remove the nutritious molasses.

How is It Made?

Jaggery is made using traditional methods of pressing and distilling palm or cane juice. This is a 3-step process

Extraction: The canes or palms are pressed to extract the sweet juice or sap.
Clarification: The juice is allowed to stand in large containers so that any sediment settles to the bottom. It is then strained to produce a clear liquid.
Concentration: The juice is placed in a very large, flat-bottomed pan and boiled.

Is It More Nutritious Than Sugar?

Jaggery contains more nutrients than refined sugar because of its molasses content.

Molasses is a nutritious by-product of the sugar making process, which is usually removed when making refined sugar.

What Can Jaggery Be Used For?

Like sugar, jaggery is versatile. It can be grated or broken up, and then used as a replacement for refined sugar in any food or drink.

Does Jaggery have any health benefits?

Jaggery is said to help support immune, liver and digestive health, as well as help prevent anemia.
