Why We Like It
- Made the old way — okra pulp instead of chemical clarifiers, slow-cooked in an iron kadai over firewood.
- The lab results come back clear across heavy metals, pesticide residues, GMO and microbiology.
- Independently certified glyphosate-free.
Ingredients
Sugarcane Juice
Sole ingredientJuiced from heirloom-variety sugarcane, cooked in an iron kadai over firewood and clarified with okra (lady's finger) pulp, a plant-based coagulant, until it concentrates and solidifies into jaggery blocks; no chemical clarifiers, whiteners or additives.
Two Brothers Sugarcane Jaggery Block versus other jaggeries
| What to compare | Purepicked | Regular jaggery |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredient list | 100% Sugarcane Juice, single ingredient | Often blended with refined sugar or bulking agents |
| Clarifying agent | Okra (lady's finger) pulp, a plant-based coagulant | Chemical clarifiers such as sodium hydrosulphite are routinely used and never appear on a label |
| Processing | Cooked in an iron kadai over firewood, the traditional method | Machine-processed at scale with chemical aids |
| Lab testing | Tested for heavy metals, pesticide residues, GMO and microbial safety, all clear | Testing of this kind is not part of standard jaggery production |
Is It For You?
Good for
Traditional Indian sweets — puran poli, pongal, til ladoo, mishti doi
A natural substitute for refined sugar in tea, coffee and everyday cooking
Traditional savoury dishes — pullissery, mango kadhi
Households wanting an unrefined, chemical-free sweetener with a lab-verified clean profile
Avoid if
Anyone needing a fully allergen-controlled product (packed in a facility that also processes wheat, tree nuts and seeds)
Those wanting a refined-sugar substitute with a neutral, non-molasses flavour
How to use
Break or grate the block as needed. Use in place of refined sugar in tea, coffee, sweets and traditional dishes like puran poli, pongal, til ladoo, mishti doi and pullissery/mango kadhi
Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture
What to look for in Jaggery?
Sulphur is used to bleach jaggery pale and uniform. Sulphurless jaggery is darker and varies from batch to batch.
Very light, very even jaggery usually means bleaching agents or added colour. Natural jaggery runs from golden to dark brown.
Jaggery draws moisture and softens in humid weather. That is the product behaving normally, not spoiling.
Jaggery is still sugar. It carries trace minerals, but not in quantities that make it a health food.
