The oldest sweetener in Indian kitchens — unrefined, chemical-free, and packed with iron. Dhatu Organic Jaggery Powder is made from pure sugarcane juice without any sulphur, lime, or bleaching agents.
What is Organic Jaggery Powder?
Jaggery (Gur) is made by boiling freshly pressed sugarcane juice until it solidifies — retaining all the natural minerals stripped away during white sugar refining. Our jaggery powder is finely milled for easy dissolving, making it ideal for everyday use in tea, coffee, sweets, and cooking. Every grain is certified organic — no synthetic pesticides, no chemicals in the processing.
Why Jaggery Over Sugar?
- Contains iron, naturally present from the sugarcane, unlike refined white sugar
-
Rich in minerals — calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus all retained from sugarcane
-
No chemicals — zero sulphur dioxide, no lime, no synthetic bleaching
-
Slower energy release — natural molasses content means slower digestion than refined white sugar
-
Gut-friendly — traditionally consumed after meals as a digestive aid in Ayurvedic practice
-
Powder format — dissolves instantly in hot and cold liquids, no lumps

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this jaggery sulphur-free?
Yes. Dhatu Organic Jaggery Powder contains absolutely no sulphur dioxide or any processing chemicals. It is made by traditional open-pan boiling of organic sugarcane juice only.
Can diabetics use jaggery?
No. Jaggery is less refined than white sugar, but it is still sugar and raises blood sugar in much the same way. If you have diabetes, please treat it like any other sugar and follow your doctor's advice.
Why does colour vary between batches?
Jaggery colour depends on the sugarcane variety and boiling time — it can range from golden yellow to dark brown. This is completely natural and does not affect quality or taste. Chemical jaggery is uniformly yellow because of synthetic additives — natural jaggery varies.
How should I store it?
Store in an airtight container away from moisture and sunlight. Jaggery powder absorbs humidity and can clump — always use a dry spoon. Best used within 6 months of opening.
Is it suitable for babies?
Jaggery is not recommended for children under 12 months. For older children and toddlers it can be used in small amounts as a natural sweetener in foods.
