On special occasions and festivals of tradition, jaggery, the humble sweetener, in a wood fire pot calls on everyday grains, cashews and coconut to make a sweet delicacy, fit for offering to the gods.   An age-old sweetener, Jaggery has been an intrinsic part of Indian sweets and delicacies for generations. With a host of health and medicinal benefits, this ancient choice is extensively used for everyday home remedies.  A unrefined/unprocessed form of cane sugar, it retains all the minerals, nutrients and vitamins present in the cane juice. High in nutritional value, it makes an intelligent choice when compared to the modern day, refined white sugar infamous for its empty calorie content.
