The Story
Bio Basics Organic Jaggery Powder is sourced from two farms near Sathyamangalam and Pondicherry. Both farms hold third-party organic certifications, ensuring the highest quality standards. The farmers cultivate their own sugarcane and process it exclusively, maintaining consistency across batches. Every 2-3 months, freshly harvested sugarcane is crushed to extract juice, which is then boiled in large vats over wood or bagasse fire. This process, requiring effort, patience, and skill, results in Chemical-free Organic Jaggery Powder from organically grown sugarcane. An interesting fact is that our raw cane sugar can be mixed with milk, unlike numerous other commercial raw cane sugar varieties.
