Our delicious Jiva Organics Jaggery Powder is made from only one ingredient (jaggery or palm sugar) with no preservatives, fillers, sweeteners, etc. It is made from freshly ground Jaggery grown in India and nothing else!
Jaggery is an all natural sweetener that is becoming popular as a healthy replacement for sugar. It is known in many different regions as Gur or Panela but it is also very similar to other products from around the world known as Piloncillo, Tapa Dulce, Namtan Tanode, Gula Melaka, and Kokuto. It is known in English as Palm Sugar.
Our Jaggery is special because it is granulated, making it much easier to use than the traditional blocks of jaggery. Easily add to your deserts, coffees, milk, drinks and no need to struggle with breaking off blocks giving you the wrong proportions.

Made from Natural Palm SugarHow is It Made? Jaggery is made using traditional methods of pressing and distilling palm or cane juice. This is a 3-step process:
During this process, the jaggery is stirred and the impurities are skimmed off the top until only a yellow, dough-like paste remains. This 'dough' is then transferred to molds or containers where it cools into jaggery, which is then ground to produce this granulated powder. |
Jaggery vs Refined SugarJaggery contains more nutrients than refined sugar because of its molasses content. It is often known as a superfood sugar! Molasses is a nutritious by-product of the sugar making process, which is usually removed when making refined sugar. In Jaggery though, it is kept. Including the molasses adds a small amount of micronutrients to the final product. We recommend consuming this product in moderation. |
What is it Used For?In India, Jaggery is often mixed with foods like coconuts, peanuts and condensed milk to make traditional desserts and candies. These include jaggery cake and chakkara pongal, a dessert made from rice and milk. It is also used to make traditional alcoholic drinks, such as palm wine, and for non-food purposes like dying fabric. In the Western world, this sweetener is often used as a sugar substitute in baking. It can also be used to sweeten drinks like tea and coffee. |
