Jaggery Production Process 2018 | Traditional Jaggery Making Process|

[@darkridge]

I'm over 40 years old and never once did I ever spare a single thought about how Jaggery was made. Of course, I'd never _heard_ of Jaggery until I watched this video, so that might be why.

[@bryco32]

same........

[@Rakesh-fb6cw]

For people who don't know, jaggery is a sugar product made by boiling the juice of sugarcane (the bamboo-like plant that sugar comes from). It is further processed down the line and separated into molasses and brown sugar, being further refined until the sugar becomes what you know as white sugar. Y'all probably don't know about jaggery in the West, but it is often used as a main ingredient in traditional South Asian sweets. It's basically a very flavorful and slightly tangy sugar product. P.S. my guess as to the white powder is sugar from sugarcane or palm, to help coagulate the boiling cane juice

[@borax92]

thanks rakesh

[@MrTurcao197]

This sweet is traditional here in Brazil, especially in the northeast of the country. It is called Rapadura.

[@nordixkat]

I think the powder added is lime.

[@mtminbugaha]

thank you

[@nini1957]

Mesmerizing...I’m falling asleep! I need to bookmark this for sleepless nights!

[@chrishan9138]

White powder? It's lime, used to clarify the juice. Lime is just calcium hydroxide. It's been used for around 3,000 years to make corn more digestible and increase bioavailability of nutrients such as niacin, which is great for avoiding diseases like pellagra. Even the name of this process - nixtamalization - comes from the original aztec term nixtamal referring to the grain which has been soaked in lime, cooked and washed. I wouldn't worry about a bit of lime in there.

[@gurtek08]

I am sure this jaggery taste really good and if only these people were more hygienic I would eat it. I remember as a kid we used to make jaggery but we never put baking soda and that jaggery was to die for, because it had almonds, cashews, coconut and raisins. It was really good. Also we were super hygienic.

[@georgelai8014]

What did u put to thicken it?

[@shanidar]

You don't thicken it, you cool it and it becomes a solid at room temperature

[@CuriousSeeker09]

what u ate is called Chikki

[@rigidfinger]

Always amazing to see so many people working together.

[@RexinOridle]

Judging from the amount of rust, guessing that's where most of the daily iron supplement comes from.

[@rls2229]

white powder: calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. Calcium carbonate is added while processing jaggery to increase the weight, while sodium bicarbonate helps give a polished look

[@fittr_udit]

They are using lot of chemicals, which is giving golden yellow colour to jaggery.. not good

[@warrmalaski8570]

Jaggery is a traditional non-centrifugal cane sugar consumed in Asia and Africa. It is a concentrated product of date, cane juice, or palm sap (see palm sugar) without separation of the molasses and crystals, and can vary from golden brown to dark brown in color.

[@davyhay1]

Jaggery is a traditional non-centrifugal cane sugar[1] consumed in Asia, Africa and some countries in the Americas.[2] It is a concentrated product of cane juice and often date or palm sap (see palm sugar) without separation of the molasses and crystals, and can vary from golden brown to dark brown in colour.[2] It contains up to 50% sucrose, up to 20% invert sugars, and up to 20% moisture, with the remainder made up of other insoluble matter, such as wood ash, proteins, and bagasse fibres.[2] Jaggery is mixed with other ingredients, widely used as a tree pulp additive for pain. Ancient scriptures on Ayurveda mention various medicinal uses based on method of preparation and age. Unrefined, it is known by various names, including panela, in other parts of the world.

[@MrPYCR]

Thank you

[@carolineleiden]

Sounds jummy! Sugar is a natural antiseptic, so I don't worry about the traditional process.

[@Joejoe-ns7yv]

To make jaggery all you do is cook the cane juice until is very thick like honey... some people add flavors to it, but nothing needs to be added... you put in molds and let it solidify... we call this raspadura and can buy in the International foods Isle of most big chain supermarkets.... this is popular south of the border ...

[@DiDi_SP]

100% hygienic process...

[@fxm5715]

Sugars at high concentration are excellent antimicrobial preservatives. Plus I'm guessing the powder that they add is citric acid or the like to lower the pH, again, as a preservative. This is exactly the same thing that gives honey, jams and jellies essentially infinite shelf-life.

[@libing.t7468]

They are adding chemical powder for getting yellow colour

[@SylasTheGreat]

@sheldon pereira it's not naturally yellow... It's naturally brown

[@deen19871]

Don't confuse, It's sodium bi carbonate...enhance and Coloring the sugar cane jaggery...In Tamil soda salt..

[@555sai_is_love]

can you tell me what is the more healthy correct process of making jaggery and what is the wrong method .because jaggery nowadays r getting spoilt in a preparation of food fast in 2 or 3 days itself .it is particularly asked as it will be benefitting for temples or any place of worship offering prasads and for many home makers with this frequent complaint .

[@CritterFritter]

I lived in East Africa when I was a teenager. Jaggery - there - was like dark brown sugar here in the States. Like, unrefined as opposed to white cane sugar. I remember it was sold wrapped in cone shaped packages made of layers of newspaper. It tasted great!

[@shaiksohail8165]

Huge respect for their hard work

[@LOISANDCLARK]

You're right it is really hardwork. ❤️

[@girishkumarpatil4500]

process is authentic jaggery making process, but this jaggery is not healthy at all as the powder they are mixing in it is hydrous powder(ethylene), it gives that bright yellow color to jaggery. if we make it totally organic and healthy way it never look bright yellow it looks blackish or dark brown , some manufacture mix water extract from lady finger to clean the juice and make color somewhat light brown.

[@Gunzee]

Sure it's not baking soda?

[@RandomNTL]

Girishkumar Patil exactly...all this hard work is wasted by adding this chemical compound..not good for health

[@aerodicus]

"In Jaggery manufacturing sodium hydrosulphite (hydros) is indiscriminately used for juice clarification beyond recommended limits (35 g hydros/1000 litre Juice) for clarification of cane juice to impart light golden yellow colour to jaggery. Often level of SO2 in jaggery exceeds beyond 50 ppm which is not suitable for human consumption (Bureau of Indian Standard I.S.12923, 1990)."

[@parinda1001]

They are working so hard, it wont take that much to make it hygienic.

[@ManaDharmamVedika]

Respect their hard work, at the same time hygiene should be..

[@unnatichaudhary1617]

good

[@MBihon2000]

Highly skilled workers, labor intensive manufacturing. The white powder is salt. Caramel candy is made of water, sugar, butter and salt.

[@indrajitmajumdar8590]

No its sodalime

[@iamauro1114]

Salt??😂

[@hojoinhisarcher]

Thanks.I had never heard of this item,being a westerner and using sugar.In Canada we use maple sugar for sweetening also a more traditional item manufactured by craft method.

[@madhu9829]

crystal sugar is the root for diabetes and many more diseases..this is called jaggery, our ancients use to use it for sweetness.pure and healthy.

Your absolutely right

[@RohitRana.5051]

[@aestheticclub3989]

You are right bro, they use detergent surf powder sometime to make it bright

Im 8 minutes in and still don't know what they're making

[@BMTHATB]

Me neither, but the Sound of the Engine is pretty relaxing

[@elinor1968]

They're extracting the sugar from sugarcanes without a centrifuge. That's basically it. It's a kind of sugar.

[@Gunzee]

This is simple very unrefined sugar, it's very sweet and crumbly yet unlike white sugar has health benefits. They crush sugar cane, mash it up then add water. Impurities are skimmed of the top. Then it's heated and reduced down. Whilst still skimming, as the water content goes down it's mixed. Oil, salt and calcium chloride is added the white powder about the mid point. This is all mixed in until the clear and upper yellow layer are one. More cc is added and it thickens. Finally it's poured into moulds and left to air dry where it hardens and is crystallised. Edit: the white powder is baking soda but if none is available sodium bicarb can be used. No idea why I thought it was calcium carbonate. Please ignore that No water or salt is added as the raw cane nice is viscose enough and has enough salt. The 'well' which I thought was water was most likely cane juice.

[@rivkashalvahweiss3080]

matia92 It’s a coarse dark brown sugar. Very yummy!!

[@zanesmit8478]

i was at 12 minutes when i decided to read comments

[@PAOLOHAON]

What is that “white powder” being added (@ 7:17) ?

[@alaminrubel3628]

I think its sodium hydrogen carbonate. baking soda

[@shivikanayyar5060]

Sulphur dioxide? to quicken the drying up process. So bad.

[@random-kc8gx]

some sort of bleaching agent, look at the color after wards

[@vfs9357]

baking soda I guess. It's used in a wide variety of sweets, like milk sweet

[@pallamrajukamisetti1916]

first they add lime(sunnam)for make neutral ph after they add soda (calcium bicarbonate) to remove black tettu(molasis) final they add hydros(sodium hydro sulfate) for color .but govt rules 3rd powder not to use.

GREAT Video!!! Reminds me to the time, I visited such factory, because I know somebody from somebody.... You know... This is the first time I see that they are making cubes and that kind of packaging. In that area I have been, they made balls with their hands :) I made packages to send to my parents at home and they went slightly nuts, because they had NO IDEA what these kind of brown balls are :) LOL!!!

[@arunspoy]

It is traditional, but not clean. You can make this clean & traditionally without chemicals.

[@Nmccarville]

Suger they add a bit for the sugar to start forming crystals hence why it thickens up after he added it it wasn't chemicals so yes clean an Traditional

[@davecannon1523]

That's not bad. If you saw how many foods in your country are processed, you'd probably freak out at those, too. For example, do you rinse your rice several times before cooking it? If not, you're eating whatever was on the warehouse floor.

[@laserflexr6321]

Tried not to comment I really did but just one too many and I can't hold in my opinion. This is the way sugar has been harvested from cane and other plants for at least a couple thousand years, I guarantee many of your ancestors ate something made by a very similar process, liked it, lived long enough afterward to have kids. Ok so some wise guy figured out a way to strip out all the nutrients and produce high purity sucrose. Now everyone who eats that stripped sugar is going to get a bite of something completely devoid of anything but sugar. No calcium, no magnesium, no zinc, no molybdenum, no phosphorus, no.... Which method is healthier, the one that might have a well cooked bit of vegetable fiber, or protein from an ant in it and many other nutrients or the one with nothing but energy? Another point is nothing can live in sugar syrup concentration with less than a certain fraction of water, dont remember exactly but something like 15%. That is why honeybees dry out nectar to a low water fraction so it will be a source of stored energy forever, until it is rehydrated. Honey cannot spoil until you add water. That is the whole point of reducing the water content of the cane juice which fresh squeezed would be a rotten vat of vinegar in a week. By reducing it to a syrup or on to taffy or on to solid as in the case of this video, it can be kept for years. Geez people crack a book once in a while, else keep your ignorance to yourself.

[@actuallowroller]

The color is gorgeous!

[@nicholaslandolina]

It would be noisy but they need a chain drive to keep belts from breaking

[@rls2229]

many are saying it is soda they're adding, but that much would alter the flavor drastically, would it not? baking soda is very salty

[@paulladuke2259]

If all you city folks who complain about this sugar-making process being unsanitary knew how many people had their hands in your supermarket food you would have a fit - especially those who eat a lot of prepared and processed foods.
