Jaggery Background

EARTHBORN JAGGERY

Sweetness, Just The Way Nature Intended

PURE. EARTHY. HONEST.

At Roots N Earth, our jaggery is more than just a sweetener — it is a return to simplicity, purity, and tradition. Sourced directly from small, family-run Aalemane units, each block is crafted with care and time-honoured methods that preserve its natural colour, aroma, and rich flavour.

What makes it truly special is its freshness. We procure our jaggery within 3 days of manufacture, ensuring it reaches you at its best — soft, aromatic, and full of its natural goodness, just as it’s meant to be enjoyed.

No shortcuts. No over-processing. Just honest sweetness, straight from its source.

Our Freshness Promise

At Roots N Earth, freshness is not a claim. It’s a commitment.

Our jaggery is carefully sourced and dispatched to us within 3 – 5 days of preparation at the aalemane. This ensures:

From the time it is made to the time it reaches your home, every step is designed to keep the product as close to its original state as possible.

Taste & Texture Guide: What to Expect

Because our jaggery is sourced fresh from small-scale aalemane units and made in limited batches, each block carries its own unique character. Natural variations are part of its authenticity — and a sign of its honest, small-batch origin.

Colour

Jaggery may range from golden brown to deep amber. This variation depends on the sugarcane used and the season of production — and is completely natural.

Texture

You may notice differences in softness, crumbliness, or density. Freshly made jaggery is often softer and slightly moist, becoming firmer over time. This is a natural process.

Taste

The flavour profile can vary from light and mellow to rich and caramel-like, depending on the batch — but always with a deep, earthy sweetness that refined sugars simply can’t replicate.

At Roots N Earth, we celebrate these differences. They are a reminder that your jaggery is not factory-made, but lovingly crafted and freshly sourced.

The Aalemane: Where Tradition Lives On

An aalemane is more than just a jaggery-making unit — it is a space where rhythm, patience, and knowledge passed down through generations come together. Here, sugarcane is slowly transformed into rich, golden jaggery using time-honoured practices.

Small batch production allows each round to be carefully monitored and crafted. The focus is not speed or scale, but quality, consistency, and respect for the process. Every batch carries the warmth of tradition and the skill of hands that have done this for decades.

Real People. Real Processes. Real Produce.

Meet the Maker

Behind every block of jaggery is the dedication of a small-scale producer who has spent years perfecting their craft. The aalemane we work with is run by a family that believes in keeping their practices honest, natural, and rooted in tradition.


For them, this is not just work — it is a legacy.


By choosing Roots N Earth, you are not just choosing high-quality jaggery. You are supporting a livelihood, preserving a dying craft, and help keep this tradition alive for future generations.

This partnership is at the heart of what we do — building sustainable connections between the source and your home.
