Shakkar Jaggery Powder

🌱 Our Organic Shakkar (Jaggery Powder) is made from the juice of 100% organic sugarcane grown on our own farm, using a chemical-free, traditional process. Free-flowing, aromatic, and naturally rich, this shakkar offers the convenience of powdered sweetness without compromising on authenticity, flavor, or integrity.

📜 The Story Behind Our Shakkar

Most commercially available jaggery powder relies heavily on meetha soda (sodium bicarbonate) - often up to 500g per batch - to force rapid crystallization. While efficient, this shortcut flattens flavor and alters jaggery’s natural character.

✨ We choose the harder, more honest path.

In our process, only 5-10g of meetha soda is used - just enough to initiate crystallization. What follows is hours of continuous manual stirring of semi-solid jaggery, allowing a natural crystal-to-crystal chain reaction to take over. As one crystal forms, it encourages the next, slowly transforming the entire batch into fine, dry jaggery crystals - without chemical dependence.

The sugarcane itself is a carefully nurtured mix of multiple indigenous varieties sourced from across India, cultivated organically on our farm. Each variety contributes its own nuance, resulting in a layered, complex sweetness that customers immediately recognize and prefer.
