JAGGERY, JAGGARY
Jaggery or jaggary is an unrefined crude brown sugar obtained from the sap of the East Indian jaggery palm. Produced by boiling the sap of the palm, it is popular in India and Southeast Asia as a sweetener and ingredient in curries, especially vegetarian curries. Jaggery tastes somewhat like a winey dark brown sugar, and is shaped into balls, or solid cakes. Also known as ‘palm sugar.’
