Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between jaggery powder and white sugar?
Jaggery powder is made by evaporating sugarcane juice and grinding it into a fine powder without chemical bleaching or sulphur treatment. It retains natural minerals like iron (11 mg/100g), calcium (80 mg/100g), and potassium (100 mg/100g) that are completely absent in white sugar. White sugar is heavily refined and stripped of all nutritional value.
Is jaggery powder healthier than white sugar?
Jaggery is a less processed, more nutritious alternative to white sugar. It contains natural minerals and has a slightly lower glycaemic index than refined sugar. However, it is still a sweetener and should be consumed in moderation. It is not suitable for diabetics without medical advice.
Can I use jaggery powder as a 1:1 substitute for white sugar?
Yes. Jaggery powder can be used as a direct substitute for white sugar in most recipes including tea, coffee, milk, halwa, kheer, laddoo, and baking. Use the same quantity as you would white sugar. Note that jaggery has a slightly earthy, caramel-like flavour that enhances traditional Indian recipes.
Why is jaggery powder a better choice than jaggery blocks?
Jaggery powder dissolves much faster and more evenly than jaggery blocks, making it easier to use in beverages, baking, and cooking. It eliminates the need to grate or break jaggery blocks and ensures consistent sweetness in every use.
Does jaggery powder clump?
Jaggery powder can clump if exposed to moisture or humidity. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If clumping occurs, break it apart — it does not affect quality or taste.
What is the shelf life?
Our Desi Jaggery Powder has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool, dry, airtight container away from moisture and direct sunlight.
