This sugar substitute is climbing the popularity ladder among health enthusiasts. More and more people are realizing that jaggery has a far superior nutritional profile than sugar. What makes this switch even easier is the fact that jaggery has a unique aromatic quality while sugar imparts no distinct fragrance. But there is one aspect in which both jaggery and sugar are quite similar- that is, both are heavily chemically processed. The bright yellow jaggery that looks so pleasing to the eyes gains that color only after it has been treated with a solution of sodium-hydro sulphite or ‘hydros’. These mainstream versions are also treated with a variety of viscosity reducers and bleaching agents. All of this makes your local jaggery quite harmful. But there is another kind of jaggery available; one that is sourced directly from organic farmers and then processed minimally. Presenting, Green Canteen’s Jaggery. It is made using only hygienically produced sugarcane juice which is then simply strained to remove impurities. The juice concentrate is then boiled until most of the water in the juice evaporates leaving behind a semi-crystalline product. This makes either liquid or solid ball-like jaggery variants. What makes untreated and preservative free jaggery so nutritious is the high content of potassium and magnesium. While potassium is an important mineral used in muscle building and a maintaining a healthy heart, magnesium is immunity boosting functions. Apart from this, jaggery is also known to have detoxifying properties. So, now you know why we say replacing sugar with jaggery is one of the most important health decision you’ll take. Try our jaggery as a simple sweet snack or add to your favorite recipes in place of sugar. Now that we’ve given you enough reasons to do so, order our jaggery today!

Yummy
Just fell in love with this product !I fell in love with this Jaggery. It was a completely different taste for me. All my life I bought Jaggery from commercial stores and it had that yellow look.Eating that piece always gave me a taste of eating something processed and something sugary .After seeing this as “Amazon’s choice” in India, I ordered it and it turned out to be a very sweet decision.The jaggery is dark brown in color , it just melts in your mouth .It had that raw pungent rustic taste which was new to me after eating chemicalised commercial jaggery for a long part of my life.I was blown away with the paper & palm packaging which is really a “green “offering ( No plastics ) from “Green Canteen”.This product is made & sold as handmade and not in a commercial plant , which means buying this also supports those farmers.I finished the full packet in 2 days flat :) :)

Yum , Yum , Yum !
I have a strong sweet tooth and after eating white sugar for past few years , finally I was looking for better healthier options.Found this and it just melted in my mouth . The taste was a bit strong & quite Raw, but thats how low processed sugarcane juice is supposed to be which is very rare these days.I also liked the fact that the packaging was completely environment friendly without any plastics .It is claimed to be handmade which is quite true to its characteristics !If you have a sweet tooth like me , look no further ! Its just Yum !!

Best form of Organic Jaggery
Having tried other jaggery products from the local grocery stores we did not expect much from this one, but to our surprise, this jaggery exceeded all our expectations. This jaggery is very good, both in form of taste as well as its ingredients. Nothing too complicated, simple and pure just as good jaggery should be. Delivered in good packaging, also the bag is re-sealable helping keep the jaggery fresh.

Very Good Product
After searching for a good product for a long time, I finally found what I was looking for. This product has a great flavor, texture and best of all is free from harmful chemicals. I used this jaggery to make peanut and almond brittle with great success. My kids loved it! Not only was the product very good, the product arrived in good time and in perfect condition.

This is the new super food !!!
This raw sugarcane handmade Jaggery is a natural, handmade, unrefined and unprocessed jaggery directly sourced from farmers. I had first brought this in India and now it is also available in the US.It is an ideal option for my sweet cravings. We have replaced our sugar to Jaggary a while back and this is a perfect addition.Love the packaging.

The village sugarcane Jaggery - 7 Stars *******
This is a long feedback but being a Jaggery lover and coming from a village background where I have seen Jaggery manufacturing myself , I could not stop myself.I hope this review will also help people who do not quite understand what a true raw Jaggery is and how it is different from commercial jaggery available in supermarkets.Pros :1) The Jaggery color is black , which means it is not processed with hydrochloric acid or Sulfur ( A common process for commercial Jaggery )2)Its taste is a little pungent , which means no white sugar , corn syrups and additives are mixed in this .3) If you mix this with milk and boil , the milk will sour , which is a characteristic of Raw Jaggery . So if you want to mix it in Milk , please add jaggery at the end and do not keep the milk on the flame for a long time after adding it.Also switch off the flame while mixing jaggery and milk. The acidity in the jaggery will curdle the milk if they boil together. 4) I fell in love with its packaging which is completely bio-degradable . A relief from all other commercial plastic packet death-beds options.5) This Jaggery seems to be collected directly by farmers . This is handmade and not manufactured in a commercial plant , which means buying this is also going to support those village farmers directly.Cons :1) I am not sure how long this will be available after the jaggery season . I just wish they maintain enough stocks.2) There is no bulk pagaging available ( 2 kg – 5 kg)3) I wish this gets available soon with organic certification also , though that may increase its price.Overall hats off to Green Canteen on launching a product which reminds me of my childhood days & a taste of real raw sugarcane jaggery ! It is Just YUM ! Try it once if you have not done it yet and see the difference in taste

Not worth, nothing special
Only good thing was just the packaging.It will not be too harsh to say that this is the same jaggery which we used to give to our buffaloes.Nothing special, too dark (there is nothing wrong in being dark), there is strange bitterness which comes from being too old.I can get the same jaggery or even better from local shops in Haryana @ 35 ruppees per KG.What seller is doing is called loot.....they are selling the ordinary jaggery in the attractive packaging. People like us get attaracted when we see such packaging and believe that it must be natural, free from chemicals and something special.But guys this one is not worth to pay 9 times the price.One more thing....I received one A4 size note with the packaging claiming that if I put one more order directly at greeplanet.in I will get one KG jaggery free. The whole thing is fraud. It's not worth the price.

Shreds of plastic found
There were thin shreds of plastic in the balls ..also there are lots of stone and sand like particles which you can see when you dissolve in water . I expect better quality for the amount we are paying- normal jaggery is around 80-90, we are paying triple..

Good
Product is original and flavour is natural. Packing is good but I would prefer it without decorative packing with low cost. It's cost is too high. I also find some dust particles inside it when liquefied with water. Instead of paying attention to packing, company should try to make it more economical for all

Great service from Green Canteen executive Ravi
I had bought Green Canteen jaggery from Amazon - but the product turned out to be of inferior quality. Tasted like old stock. I called up the customer service of Green Canteen - I must admit, their service levels was awesome. 1st Ravi spoke to me to understand what the problem was, then a senior called to address the issue. Ravi called back to say - "We have dispatched the jagger & have also made arrangements to pick the amazon consignment." Ravi called me back to check how the new consignment tasted. Keep it up guys !!! Your product is just like your service levels - "Awesome".
