Jaggery is made from the concentrated juice of sugarcane or the sap of certain palms, such as the date palm. The juice is heated in large pans until it thickens and begins to crystalize. The jaggery is then cooled and formed into different shapes and sizes. The color and texture of jaggery varies depending on the region and where it is produced. The jaggery is then packaged and sold as a natural sweetener.
