Village Trick: Keep Jaggery Dry and Fresh for Months, Even in Summer!

• Jaggery often melts and spoils in summer and monsoon due to humidity.
• Ensure jaggery is good quality, dry, hard, and free from mold before storage.
• Wrap jaggery tightly in 2-3 layers of newspaper or brown paper to absorb moisture.
• Bury the paper-wrapped jaggery in a drum or sack filled with wheat or paddy to keep it dry.
• Store the jaggery drum in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
