Summer Jaggery Woes? Ancient Rural Technique Keeps it Fresh for Months!

• Jaggery, a winter staple, often melts and becomes sticky in summer due to humidity.
• A traditional rural method can preserve jaggery for months without refrigeration or chemicals.
• Key steps include ensuring good quality, dry jaggery, and drying it in mild sunlight if slightly wet.
• Wrap jaggery tightly in newspaper or brown paper and store it in a grain drum to prevent air exposure.
• Always keep the jaggery drum in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and damp areas.
