Organic Jaggery Powder (Shakkar)

Organic Jaggery Powder, or “Shakkar,” is a traditional unrefined sweetener made from the clarified juice of organic sugarcane. Unlike white sugar, which is stripped of all nutrients, jaggery is produced through a slow-cooking process that retains essential molasses. This gives it a rich, caramel-like flavor and a deep brown color. It is a powerhouse of minerals, particularly iron, making it an excellent dietary addition for those suffering from anemia. In Ayurveda, jaggery is considered a “hot” food that aids in digestion and cleanses the respiratory tract by flushing out dust and toxins.

  • Iron Rich: A natural source of iron that helps increase hemoglobin levels in the blood.

  • Respiratory Cleanser: Helps clear the lungs and throat from pollution and dust particles.

  • Mineral Powerhouse: Loaded with magnesium, potassium, and selenium for better immunity.

  • Slow Energy Release: Provides more sustained energy compared to the “sugar rush” of white sugar.
