Jaggery is an unrefined natural sugar that is produced without adding any chemicals. Like sugar, jaggery is versatile. It can be grated or broken up and then used to replace refined sugar in any food or drink. Jaggery can taste similar to fresh cane juice, maple syrup, caramel, or molasses, depending on its contents. The unrefined natural sweetener comes in various shades, including light amber, golden brown, and dark brown.
