Sugar Cane Juice Chemical Free Jaggery for Sweetener

The cut and cleaned sugar cane is putinto the crusher. The extracted sugar cane juice is collected in a big vessel.a certain quantity of the juice is transferred to a smaller ve heatingon a furnace for about one hour. Finally the juice is thickened and reduced tonearly one- third of the original volume. This hot liquid is golden in colour.now it is into a shallow flat bottomed concrete tank to cool andsolidify. The tank is large enough to allow only a thin coat of this hot liquidto form at its bottom, so as to increase the area for quick evaporationand cooling. After cooling down the jaggery becomes a soft solid which is nowleft as powder or pressed into the desired shape for selling at the ma but actually, the color of countryjaggery without adding any chemicals (such as bleaching) is brown in color,because the natural color of the sugarcane juice is dark green nthenchanges to dark brown after boiling.
