Buttery and rich, our jaggery comes from partner farmer Dr. Salunkhe, who also grows our favorite turmeric in the world. Use instead of white or brown sugar in any recipe, as a garnish on fruit, yogurt, oatmeal and baked goods, or to balance spicy heat in stews and curries. The jaggery starts with fresh cane, juiced and boiled down to a syrup in traditional iron pots, clarified using wild okra, and then whipped by hand to produce light, crunchy crystals.

Proudly grown by a cooperative of farmers in Sirārakhong and sourced for us by our friends Zeinorin & Alan of Hillwild. Legend has it that the villagers' ancestors found these exquisitely long, vibrant chillies growing in the wild on a hunting trip that they then brought home and have made a part of their daily cuisine ever since. Many nearby villages have tried to grow the Sirārakhong Hāthei chillies, but something about the terroir of Sirarakhong produces the very best of the best!
