Jaggery, commonly known as Jaggery or gur, is a staple ingredient in many Indian kitchens. From sweets and tea to traditional desserts, it is often considered a healthier alternative to refined sugar. But here’s a shocking truth many people don’t realize.

A simple test recommended by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India can help you check jaggery purity in just a few minutes at home.
