Organic Wild Kithul Jaggery 330g

Versatile

Kokonati organic Wild kithul jaggery is made from the sap tapped from the Caryota urens flower blossoms. Caryota Urens or Fishtail palm is a palm that grows wild in the rainforests of Sri Lanka. The sap is slowly evaporated into a thick syrup. The thick syrup is poured into glass jars to make a melt in the mouth, natural sugar block, Kithul jaggery! Kithul jaggery has a unique depth of flavor that enhances the cooking and baking with an exotic flavor, truly wild, literally a forest-harvested product!

Uses

Use in refined-sugar-free baking and as a natural derived alternative to heavily refined sugar and syrups. Can also be used in place of honey and maple syrup. Perfect with a cup of herbal/ black tea or coffee. Grate as topping for cereal, yogurt, and even ice cream!

Flavor

Aroma is mildly smoky and tastes pleasantly sweet but complex too. Talk about a wild product! Depending on the harvest and season every batch of jaggery can vary in color and to a minor degree in taste as it is a natural cottage-industry product that does not use any chemical refining, additives, or preservatives to standardize product like with large-scale commercially processed solid sugars

Ingredient

100% evaporated wild kithul sap.

Storage

Keep airtight in the pantry, away from sunlight and damp. Use within 3-4 months from opening. Refrigeration is recommended as naturally present yeasts in the air could ferment the product if stored at room temperature after opening. With a best before of two years from the manufacture date, wild kithul jaggery remains safe to use for even longer periods as long as it is stored with minimal exposure to light, air, and moisture. This is why Kokonati wild kithul jaggery is packed at the origin, in the very region where the forests it is harvested from are. This seals the freshness and reduce exposure from day one.
