Traditional ways to sweeten

Before white sugar became standard, Indian sweets were made with jaggery, palm sugar and honey. Each has its own flavour, from the caramel notes of jaggery to the smoky taste of palm sugar.

• Organic Jaggery Powder (also 1kg): made from sugarcane juice without sulphur or bleaching agents. Dissolves easily in payasam, chikki, tea and ladoos.
• Organic Palm Sugar: from palmyra palm, a traditional South Indian sweetener with a smoky-caramel taste.
• Coconut Blossom Sugar: made from coconut flower sap; use it like brown sugar in baking and drinks.
• Organic Brown Sugar (also 1kg) and Sulphurless Sugar: for recipes that need regular sugar, without sulphur-dioxide bleaching.
• Raw Honey and Forest Honey: for drizzling, dressings and warm (not hot) drinks. Our raw honey is bottled without heating.

Frequently asked questions

Are these healthier than sugar?

They are less refined and each brings its own flavour, but they are all still sugars. Enjoy them in moderation, just as you would white sugar.

Can I give honey to my baby?

No. Honey should not be given to babies under one year old.

Why has my honey crystallised?

Crystallisation is natural in raw honey and does not mean it has gone bad. Stand the jar in warm water to make it runny again.
