What it is?
Pure Palm Sugar or palm jaggery is a natural sweetener that is unrefined and retains its vitamins and minerals, making it a healthier alternative to refined sugar. While Jaggery has been used for centuries, it remains relatively unknown. However, not all jaggeries are created equal. Many on the market are made from sugarcane, which is heavily sprayed with pesticides due to repeated cultivation, resulting in nutrient-depleted soil. On the other hand, jaggery derived from Palmyra palm flower sap offers a superior and sustainable option. Palmyra palm trees take about 15 years to start producing sap and can thrive for up to 100 years, making them an excellent choice for obtaining long-lasting and premium quality jaggery. Palmyra palm jaggery is highly prized as a sweetener because of its labor-intensive production process, nutritional benefits, and eco-friendliness.
