What is Jaggery?

Updated: Aug 20, 2022

Jaggery supplier and exporter in India

India is the major producer of jaggery in the world. It has a long tradition of jaggery production, which is reported to date back to the Neolithic period in India. Jaggery is popularly known as "medicinal sugar" and is nutritionally comparable to honey. It is made from the product of crystallized sugar cane juice boiled in large vats and then reduced to a syrup. It is brown in color due to the presence of molasses and minerals such as iron, potassium, copper, calcium, and magnesium.


It has been used as a sweetener in Ayurvedic medicine. Indian Ayurvedic medicine considers jaggery to be beneficial in treating throat and lung infections. Today, jaggery benefits are spreading around the world thanks to increased international trade, improved transportation, and the popularity of Indian culture. Demand for jaggery in many American and European countries is increasing. Many people have completely substituted sugar for jaggery as a daily sweetener due to its benefits.

Jaggery is widely produced and available in the form of blocks. Each block weighed around one kilogram. Due to the increase in demand and need for sugar substitutes, today jaggery is also produced in powder form also know as 'Jaggery Powder'. Which makes it easier to use in our daily activities, such as cooking and so on.


Types of Jaggery
