Wild Harvested Pure Jaggery Powder / Gur

Jaggery powder is a natural, unrefined sweetener made from concentrated sugarcane juice, dried and ground into a fine powder—so it’s easier to use and store than the traditional block form. It also comes with many health benefits.

Unlike white sugar, which is heavily processed and stripped of nutrients, jaggery powder retains its minerals and antioxidants, giving it that rich, caramel-like flavour and a beautiful golden-brown colour.

I use jaggery now and then for cooking, baking and hot drinks. As honey becomes very toxic when it is heating, jaggery is a great alternative. 

It goes without saying that this has been grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides as it is sourced from wild forest areas.

BENEFITS:

• It contains trace amounts of iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium—way more than refined sugar, which has zero nutritional value.
• A pinch of jaggery after meals is a traditional remedy to kickstart digestion and reduce bloating or gas. It’s believed to stimulate digestive enzymes.
• It helps clear the lungs and throat, making it a go-to home remedy for coughs, colds, and chest congestion—especially when mixed with ginger or black pepper.
• Jaggery is thought to support natural detoxification by flushing out toxins from the liver and purifying the blood.
• Unlike white sugar, jaggery is a slow-release carbohydrate—it gives you energy without that sugar spike and crash.
• Thanks to its iron content, jaggery is often recommended (in moderation) to help improve hemoglobin levels, especially for women.

You can use it as a sweetener in teas/hot drinks, in baking recipes and savoury dishes; being mindful to of course use it in moderation!!

It has an overall sweet, slightly earthy and warm flavour that sugar just can’t match.
