Jaggery in Summer: Store It Right, Eat It Safely

• Jaggery (gur) is a natural sweetener; it can be stored in summer with proper methods to keep it fresh.
• Store in airtight glass or stainless steel containers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
• In humid weather, consider refrigeration; wrap jaggery in paper or cloth to prevent excess moisture.
• Break large blocks into smaller pieces to prevent moisture trapping and mold growth; always use dry hands or spoons.
• Safe to eat in moderation during summer; it provides energy and minerals, often paired with cooling foods like Buttermilk or Fennel seeds.
