Pure Indian Foods Jaggery Block, Organic (Evaporated Cane Sugar)

If you’re looking for a healthy alternative to ordinary sugar for sweetening, cooking and baking, you are going to love our naturally delicious, mineral-rich, certified organic jaggery. It’s made from the extracted juice of organically grown sugarcane, produced to form a gorgeous, rich, healthy sweetener that has been used in traditional diets in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh for centuries.

Often called “gur” in India, jaggery is used in sweet and savory dishes as well as beverages. Because it is pressed from organic sugarcane, it retains natural vitamins and minerals not found in table sugar, such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and calcium. Even the ancient healing practice of Ayurveda recognizes the important of jaggery for promoting good health.

Use equal amount or a little less jaggery in place of sugar in a recipe. Jaggery is rich – in both flavor and nutrition, so a little bit can go a long way.
