Jaggery

Jaggery is a traditional unrefined sugar widely consumed in Asia and Africa. It is made from concentrated sugarcane juice or the sap of date palm trees. The process of making jaggery involves boiling the juice or sap until it solidifies, resulting in a golden brown substance that is rich in minerals and nutrients. Unlike refined sugar, jaggery retains traces of iron, magnesium, potassium, and other essential minerals, making it a healthier alternative. It has a distinct, robust flavor that is both sweet and slightly earthy, often described as a cross between caramel and molasses. Jaggery is used in a variety of culinary applications, from sweetening beverages and desserts to being a key ingredient in traditional dishes and snacks. It is also valued for its potential health benefits, including aiding digestion, providing energy, and boosting the immune system.
