Shreerang Foods and Products, located in Khadkighat, Beed, employs traditional methods to produce organic jaggery solids, ensuring a chemical-free and nutrient-rich product.
**Traditional Production Process:**
1. **Sugarcane Harvesting:** Sugarcane is harvested at its peak maturity to ensure optimal sweetness and quality.([Amrut Jaggery][1])
2. **Juice Extraction:** The harvested sugarcane is crushed using a traditional crusher to extract fresh juice.
3. **Clarification:** Natural clarifying agents, such as plant-based coagulants, are added to the juice to remove impurities.
4. **Boiling:** The clarified juice is then boiled in shallow, thick iron pans over a wood-fired flame. This slow boiling process helps in evaporating the water content, concentrating the juice into a thick syrup.([Amrut Jaggery][1])
5. **Stirring:** Continuous stirring is done to prevent the syrup from sticking to the bottom and to ensure uniform consistency.
6. **Testing:** The syrup is tested for its consistency and readiness by dropping a small amount into cold water; if it solidifies, it's ready for molding.
7. **Molding:** The thickened syrup is poured into molds to form solid blocks of jaggery.
8. **Cooling and Packaging:** The molded jaggery is allowed to cool and harden before being carefully packed to retain its freshness and nutritional value.
This traditional procedure not only preserves the natural flavors and nutrients of the jaggery but also supports sustainable farming practices.
By adhering to these time-honored methods, Shreerang Foods and Products ensures that their organic jaggery solids are of the highest quality, offering a wholesome and natural sweetener to their customers.
