Keep Jaggery Fresh for Years: 6 Expert Storage Methods Revealed

• Clean sugarcane juice thoroughly with natural agents like okra stems or Sukhlai for long-term jaggery storage.
• Boil juice until completely thick to remove all moisture, preventing fungus and melting.
• Opt for unadulterated 'desi' jaggery; chemical jaggery absorbs moisture and spoils quickly.
• Ensure proper cooking temperature for jaggery to harden; soft jaggery melts in summer.
• Store jaggery as small 'bhelis' or ladoos, and cool completely in open air before packing in airtight containers.

Why It Matters: Ensure jaggery's longevity by focusing on juice purity, complete moisture removal, and proper storage techniques.
