Cultivation
The story begins with sugarcane, a tall grass cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions like India, Brazil, and China. Farmers tend to these crops under the warm sun, nurturing them with care until they reach maturity.
Harvesting
Once the sugarcane stalks are ready, they are harvested manually or mechanically. Skilled laborers cut the stalks at their base, carefully separating the green leaves from the juicy stems.
Juice Extraction
The harvested sugarcane is transported to processing units where the sweet juice is extracted. Traditional methods involve crushing the stalks between rollers, while modern mills employ sophisticated machinery for efficient extraction.
Clarification and Filtration
The extracted juice contains impurities like plant fibers and debris. These are removed through a series of clarification and filtration processes, often involving natural settling agents like lime.
Boiling and Concentration
The clarified juice is then boiled in large cauldrons over open flames or in modern evaporators. As the water content evaporates, the juice thickens and concentrates, transforming into a viscous syrup.
Solidification and Shaping
The concentrated syrup reaches its final stage – solidification. It is poured into molds of various shapes and sizes, like blocks, cones, or discs, and allowed to cool and harden.
Consumption and Enjoyment
Finally, the jaggery reaches its ultimate destination – the kitchens and tables of consumers. This versatile sweetener can be enjoyed in various ways:
Directly: Broken into pieces and savored as a natural candy.
Cooking: Used to sweeten desserts, beverages, curries, and savory dishes.
Medicinal purposes: Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for its various health benefits.
