Nolen Gur Date Palm Jaggery

Description

Nolen Gur Date Palm Jaggery

Prepared from the fresh sap of the date palm tree. We collect fresh sap juice from wild date palm trees early morning before sunrise as the sap can deteriorate quickly and can get fermented with slight increase in temperature. After collection we filter it manually with a 3 layer mesh we then boil it for about 3 hours at 118 degrees on mud oven.

This jaggery is considered medicinal, and is nutrient dense.

It is otherwise a seasonal product, especially in north east regions of Bengal where this done by the siuli community – they climb the trees, tap the trees, collect fresh sap and make the jaggery. This is mostly done from trees growing in nature or in the wild in the forest areas. Hence available only for a short period. This product is likely to ferment if exposed to moisture. Not just ferment, it can be affected by bacteria and mould, fungi too if it comes in contact with moisture or air. The bottle shouldn’t be left open. Any spoon or spreader when inserted into the bottle should be dry

Dhenki’s Liquid Date Palm Jaggery, or Liquid Nolen Gur, or Jhola Gur is made entirely from the sap extract of local date palms through a traditional process, using firewood at our in-farm jaggery making unit
