FAQ

WHAT IS PALMYRA PALM JAGGERY MADE OF?
This jaggery is made from the sap of the Palmyra palm's inflorescence (cluster of flowers). A slit is made at the tip of the inflorescence and the sap that oozes is collected in earthen pots. The particulate matter is removed from the sap by filtration. Then it is boiled and churned continuously over low to medium heat till it reaches a paste-like consistency. It is poured into wooden trays, flattened with a wooden roller, then continuously scraped till powdered jaggery is obtained. It is filtered through a sieve again to separate the granules based on size. The end result is a naturally sweet fine powder that is perfect for daily cooking.
