Jaggery Storage Hacks: Keep Your Jaggery Fresh Longer with Expert Tips!

• Proper purification of sugarcane juice using natural agents like ladyfinger stem or sukhalai is crucial for long-lasting jaggery.
• Boil sugarcane juice until completely thick to eliminate moisture, which is the primary cause of spoilage, mold, or melting.
• Avoid chemically processed jaggery (with soda/bleach) as it absorbs moisture quickly and turns black; natural "desi" jaggery stores best.
• Ensure correct cooking temperature for jaggery to harden properly; soft jaggery melts and flows during summer.
• Store jaggery in small 'bheli' or laddus after cooling in open air, then pack in jute bags or airtight containers.

Why It Matters: Natural, properly processed, and stored jaggery stays fresh for extended periods.
