Jaggery (gur) is unrefined sugar made by boiling down sugarcane juice until it sets into a solid block. Unlike white sugar, it is not bleached or refined, so it retains the natural colour, aroma and minerals of the cane.

This chemical-free jaggery block is sourced from Sahyadri Agro. Jaggery has been a staple of Indian kitchens for generations — stirred into tea, used in traditional sweets, or simply eaten as a small piece after a meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between jaggery and white sugar?

Jaggery is made by evaporating sugarcane juice without the refining and bleaching steps used to produce white sugar. It therefore retains the cane’s natural colour, aroma and trace minerals. Both are, however, forms of sugar and should be used in moderation.

How should jaggery be stored?

Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Jaggery draws moisture from the air, which can make it soft or sticky, so an airtight container matters more than it does for sugar.

Can jaggery be used in place of sugar in any recipe?

In most cases yes, though jaggery adds its own colour and a distinct caramel-like flavour. In tea, milk and traditional sweets it works especially well. Note that adding jaggery to very hot milk can sometimes cause it to curdle — let the milk cool slightly first.

Why is jaggery traditionally eaten after meals?

Eating a small piece of jaggery after a meal is a long-standing custom in many Indian households, particularly in Maharashtra and Gujarat. It is part of everyday food tradition rather than a medical practice.

Is jaggery suitable for people managing their sugar intake?

Jaggery is still a sugar and contributes calories and carbohydrates in much the same way. If you are managing your sugar intake for any medical reason, speak to your doctor or a registered dietitian before changing your diet.
