Jaggery Powder- 100% Organic, Natural & Chemical-Free Desi Shakkar 800g/4.5kg - A Pure & Healthier Sugar Alternative - Dark Brown with Pleasant Flavour

To keep jaggery powder fresh, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. This will help prevent it from hardening or becoming contaminated. You can also refrigerate it to prolong its shelf life.

Jaggery powder is a natural sweetener, but it still contains sugar and can raise blood sugar levels. It has a medium glycemic index (GI), which can affect blood sugar. People with diabetes should use it in moderation and consult their doctor or nutritionist before incorporating it into their diet.

No, Satopradhan Jaggery powder is free from preservatives or additives.

Our organic jaggery powder is unique because it uses organically grown sugarcane. The cane juice is clarified during its preparation using okra powder instead of the usual chemicals commonly used in the refining process, such as phosphoric acid or calcium oxide. These chemicals are typically used to clarify the cane juice and remove impurities. However, okra powder acts as a natural clarifying agent, helping preserve the jaggery's purity and nutritional integrity. Unlike many commercial jaggery products that may contain these added chemicals or artificial clarifiers, our process ensures that the jaggery remains as natural and wholesome as possible, retaining all the beneficial minerals and vitamins

We offer two types of packaging for our jaggery powder - 800g & 4.8kg. Our smaller packs come in eco-friendly cardboard boxes, which are easily recyclable. However, for our larger packs (4.8 kg), we use hermetic bags made from food-grade, 100% recyclable materials. While we label them as eco-friendly, we have never claimed that our larger packs are completely plastic-free.

The choice to use hermetic bags for bigger packs is based on practical considerations. Jaggery powder is heavy, and using cardboard boxes for such weight often leads to tearing and damage during shipping. Hermetic bags ensure the product reaches you intact, without leaks or contamination. We want to emphasize that these bags are recyclable, and we encourage responsible disposal by handing them over to a local recycling facility or a raddi wala to prevent them from ending up in landfills. Sustainability is a continuous journey, and ensuring healthy products in secure packaging remains challenging for many small and eco-conscious businesses. We genuinely appreciate your support and cooperation as we strive to improve our packaging while maintaining the highest product quality.

Adding jaggery powder to extremely hot milk can sometimes cause the proteins to denature or coagulate, leading to curdling. This happens because jaggery is naturally slightly acidic, while milk has a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (around 6.5-6.7). When jaggery is added to boiling milk, the acidity can disturb the milk’s pH balance, causing casein proteins to destabilize and clump together, leading to curdling. To prevent this, adding the jaggery powder directly to the cup after pouring the milk rather than mixing it into boiling milk is best. This allows the milk to cool slightly, maintaining its stability and ensuring smooth integration without affecting its texture.
