Fine Quality Jaggery Powder (Shakkar).

Jaggery powder is made from the sap of sugarcane that contains high amounts of sucrose. It is a delicious sweetener that can be used to replace the sugar in a lot of foods. It can be stored in the form of blocks or powder which can be later mixed into a food item.

Compared to refined sugar, jaggery appears nutritious. Refined white sugar contains only “empty calories” — that is, calories without any vitamins or minerals (5). Gram by gram, jaggery is more nutritious than sugar.
