Manji Jaggery Powder Brown 500 g
Characteristics
Jaggery is a tasty unrefined sugar made from jaggery. It is a little less sweet than maple syrup and a little thicker than honey.
The color varies from golden yellow to dark brown. With its deep caramel-like flavor and soft texture, jaggery is perfect for use in baking, in hot drinks or as a healthy sweetener in dishes.
Jaggery has some health advantages over refined sugar: it is absorbed into the blood less quickly and therefore has a less drastic effect on blood sugar levels. Jaggery also contains useful nutrients such as minerals (magnesium and potassium) and vitamins.

Extra information
White or Brown Jaggery?
The main difference between white jaggery and brown jaggery lies in the production process and raw materials used.
White jaggery is produced by boiling the sap of sugar cane and then crystallizing it. During this process, impurities are removed, giving the resulting jaggery a lighter color. White jaggery has a mild flavor and is often used as a sweetener in dishes.
Brown jaggery is made by boiling the sap of sugar cane longer, making it more concentrated and darker in color. It still contains some impurities and minerals, which contribute to the deeper color and richer taste. Brown jaggery has an intense caramel-like flavor and is often used in traditional Indian sweets and desserts.
In general, the longer the cooking process takes, the darker and more intense the jaggery will be. However, both varieties of jaggery have similar nutritional benefits and can be used as natural alternatives to refined sugar. The choice between white jaggery and brown jaggery mainly depends on the desired taste and color in a specific dish.
