Jaggery is a traditional unrefined sugar commonly used in South and Southeast Asia. It is made by boiling raw, concentrated sugarcane juice or palm sap until it solidifies. Jaggery has a rich, caramel-like flavor and can range in color from golden brown to dark brown. It is often used as a sweetener in desserts, beverages, and traditional dishes, and is valued for its mineral content, including iron, potassium, and magnesium.
