What is jaggery / Gur? Jaggery is a sweetener that is made
from sugarcane and is obtained by boiling raw and
concentrated sugarcane juice. It is known to be a healthier
alternative to white sugar because of a superior nutritional
profile. However, both have similar calorie content.
Sugarcane juice is boiled for quite a few hours before
adding it in the moulds and is further kept to cool off and
let it harden. On the other hand, white sugar has to go
through crystallization and several other processes in
before it is packaged for consumption.
Health experts have always recommended eating jaggery
in winter only, considering jaggery produces heat in the
body further causing stomach problems. Therefore, one
should avoid consuming jaggery during hot days.
Ways to check for jaggery's purityAccording to the
Culinary Expert and Food Blogger Chef Reetu Uday Kugaji,
"Generally a good quality jaggery should have the right
colour, good flavour and hardness." It is imperative to
check for its purity anytime you are out buying some for
consumption. Here are a few points to keep in mind while
buying jaggery as suggested by Chef Reetu -Points to
remember if you are buying jaggery:
Do taste a piece of jaggery; it should not taste even slightly
salty. If it does, this may indicate a high concentration of
mineral salts. The salty taste can also tell you if the gur is
fresh or not, the older it is, the saltier it gets.
If there is any bitterness in the gur or jaggery, it means that
it has gone through the process of caramelisation during
the boiling process.
Check for any crystals on the jaggery. Presence of crystals
indicates that the jaggery may have gone through other
processes to make it sweeter.

The colour of the jaggery also plays an important role in
identifying purity. ldeally the colour of the jaggery should
be dark brown. The yellowish colour in gur may indicate
chemical treatment.
Prefer buying hard jaggery; this ensures that there are no
additives added while boiling the sugarcane juice.
Points to remember after you have bought the
jaggery:Most vendors add chalk powder in shakar, hence,
in order to check for its presence, all you need to do is take
a transparent bowl of water and dissolve a piece of jaggery
in the water. You will see the powder settling down in the
water.There is a chance that artificial colour is used to give
jaggery the right colour. Take half a teaspoon of jaggery
and add six millilitre of alcohol to it and mix well. Now add
20 drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid. If the jaggery
turns pink then it means that artificial colours have been
added to this lot.So enjoy your bite of jaggery without
having to worry about adulteration. Stay healthy!
