PURE INDIAN FOODS Organic Jaggery Sugar - 2-Pack of 1.1 lb (1kg total)

If you're looking for a healthy alternative to ordinary sugar for sweetening, cooking, and baking, you're going to love our naturally delicious, mineral-rich, certified organic jaggery. This unrefined natural sweetener is made by simply evaporating the juice of organically grown sugarcane, a process that retains the natural vitamins and minerals not found in refined table sugar, such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and calcium.

Often referred to as "gur" in India, jaggery has been used in traditional diets in the Indian subcontinent for centuries. It is versatile, used in both sweet and savory dishes, as well as in beverages. The ancient healing practice of Ayurveda even recognizes the importance of jaggery for promoting good health.

We are passionate about our jaggery, and we believe you will be too. Here are 25 fun ideas for using this amazing product:

Use jaggery as you would brown or white sugar in recipes, grating only the amount needed for best results. Sweeten tea, coffee, and grain beverages. Add it to hot milk with a spoonful of Grass-fed Ghee and a dash of cardamom powder for a nourishing drink, stirring until the jaggery has dissolved. Incorporate it into pie crust dough, using a pastry blender or food processor to blend all ingredients for a lightly sweetened, golden brown crust.

Stir a spoonful of jaggery syrup into plain yogurt, adding fruit or natural flavoring extracts if desired. Make a delicious hot sweet rice dish by stirring jaggery into hot basmati rice, then adding toasted almonds, currants, and a spoonful of Grass-fed Ghee, Cultured Ghee, or Coconut Ghee.

Jaggery can also be used in place of sugar in pancake or waffle batter, and it adds a lovely caramel note to sauces for meats, vegetables, and grains. Muffins and biscuits become more delicious and nutritious when prepared with jaggery, and you can use it to sweeten frostings and icings for cakes and pastries.

For a comforting hot chocolate, combine organic milk or non-dairy milk, jaggery, and cocoa powder in a saucepan, stirring over medium heat until the cocoa and jaggery are dissolved. Add a drop of vanilla and a spoonful of Grass-fed Digestive Ghee, if desired.

Jaggery shines in various other applications, from making roasted spiced nuts to caramelizing onions, adding a subtle sweetness to spaghetti sauce, and even using it in place of sugar for candy making. It's a versatile ingredient that can elevate a wide range of sweet and savory dishes.

Compared to refined sugar, jaggery is minimally processed, retaining more of the natural nutrients and minerals from the sugarcane. It is also softer and more amorphous in texture than the solid, crystalline refined sugar. When cooking with jaggery, you can make a syrup by blending it with a small amount of water, and you may use slightly less jaggery than the amount of sugar called for in a recipe, as it is naturally sweet and rich.

Jaggery is a treasured ingredient in India, and we're excited to share its many uses and benefits with you. Embrace the natural goodness of this unrefined sweetener and elevate your cooking and baking experiences.
