At India Bazaar South Africa, we take pride in offering a diverse range of authentic and natural jaggery products, bringing the rich flavors and health benefits of this traditional sweetener to your doorstep.
Below is a explanation of what Jaggery is:
1. Unrefined Natural Sweetener:
Jaggery is a traditional, unrefined sugar made from sugarcane juice or palm sap (like date or coconut palm). It retains more minerals and nutrients than white sugar because it is not processed with chemicals.
2. Traditional Preparation:
The process involves boiling fresh juice in large, open pans until it solidifies. It’s then molded into blocks, powders, or liquids.
3. Known by Many Names:
Jaggery is called "gur" in Hindi, "vellam" in Tamil, "bella" in Kannada, "gol" in Gujarati, and "gud" in Bengali.
Jaggery, often referred to as "Gur" in various Indian languages, is a traditional unrefined sugar made by boiling raw sugarcane juice or date palm sap. Unlike refined sugars, jaggery retains all the natural minerals and vitamins present in the original sap, making it a healthier alternative to processed sugars.
