Chakra Jaggery Cubes White 500 g

Jaggery is a tasty unrefined sugar made from palm juice. It is a little less sweet than maple syrup and a little thicker than honey. Its color varies from golden yellow to dark brown and it has a rich taste similar to brown sugar.

Jaggery has some health benefits compared to, for example, beet sugar: it is absorbed into the blood less quickly and therefore has less drastic influence on blood sugar levels. Jaggery also contains useful nutrients such as minerals (magnesium and potassium) and vitamins.

Jaggery is sold in disc form, inverted pudding bowl form, inverted coffee cup or bucket form or simply in handy chunks. You can break off small bits and use them in curries, lentil soup, chutneys, desserts, pastries, etc. or you can grate some with a (microplane) grater. You can use it in recipes that replace brown sugar or cane sugar, but the other way around you can also just replace it with caster sugar, cane sugar, palm sugar or even granulated sugar. It is mainly the color of your dish that will be different. Jaggery will keep for months, if not years, at room temperature.
