Description
Jaggery is a type of un-processed sweetener, made by evaporating raw sugarcane juice without separating the molasses from the crystals. The resulting residue is softer than refined sugar with a color variation from golden yellow to dark brown. Since Jaggery is unprocessed, it get to retain the naturally occurring vitamins and minerals hence making it a healthier alternative to processed sugar which looses most of these benefits in the processing. Jaggery is available in various forms – cubes, balls and powder.
The sugarcane produced in fertile land of Kolhapur is rich in Sugar grain and the color-body proportion is less compared to other areas. This allows maximum amount of the colored impurity to be easily removed while preparing the jaggery. The traditional jaggery blenders are specialized in the blending it to light red-brown color as required. This light colored and rich in sweetness makes Kolhapuri jaggery very famous across different markets.
