Our golden, unrefined sugarcane granules, known as Jaggery is sourced directly from a smallholder farming community nestled in the fertile region of the Ganges basin in North India, near the border with Nepal.
While conventional sugar requires heavy processing and refining, our Jaggery granules are 100% pure sugarcane juice cooked in iron woks, treated with okra (a plant based coagulant). The benefits of retaining the unrefined sugarcane include a sweetener that is rich in iron, folate, potassium and many other nutrients. Traditionally used as an after meal digestive aid in Indian culture, the rich, toasted butterscotch flavor adds warmth and depth to anything this jaggery is added to!
Our partner farmers advance indigenous, regenerative agriculture with a focus on preserving heirloom seeds through 100% regenerative, pesticide free farming. Careful attention is paid to maintain true soil health and to integrate native life and plant biodiversity in the most beneficial way possible. The result is a delicious, solar-golden Jaggery unmatched in flavor and packed with nutrition.
