Madhur Jaggery

Jaggery, an unrefined natural sugar made from sugarcane juice, is the OG, precolonial sweetener of South Asia. What started as the lil pick-me-up of so many of our childhoods is now our preferred addition to cups of chai, golden milk, lattes and more.

Grown in the historic, rain-fed, sugarcane-growing Daund region, our jaggery is grown and processed by Kantilal Randive, a well-known soil health expert. Our sugarcane is intercropped with dhaincha (sesbania bispinosa), chickpeas, and wheat for soil health. Its juice is clarified using traditional methods — incorporating wild okra to remove the impurities — for a clean, nutty jaggery powder!

Given that jaggery has a high molasses content (AKA the nutritious brown stuff that is usually pulled out of sugar during the refining process), expect a deep, rich flavor that comes in clutch when you're subbing it in for any sugars.
