Why Burlap & Barrel?

  • Over 12,000 5-star reviews
  • Guaranteed to wow you or we'll replace

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.

Sourcing

Our jaggery is made by Dr. Salunkhe, a naturopathic and Ayurvedic doctor, a doctor of pharmacology, a disciplined Yogi, a community leader and a passionate organic agriculture advocate. He is our longtime supplier of our sublime New Harvest Turmeric.

About 15 years ago, he realized that the connections between poor health and nutrition extended all the way back to farming practices, and he decided to focus his scientific expertise on agriculture. He is deeply, overwhelmingly passionate about his farm and his crops.

Recently, we got to visit his farm, where he told us that his neighbors have laughed at him and dismissed his insistence on organic methods and regenerative techniques for years, but that since we've been buying his turmeric (at almost 10x the going price for commodity turmeric), they've started to change their minds. The fact that we made the long trip to visit the farm and meet him in person was especially meaningful, both for him personally but also for his campaign to show his neighbors the value of organic farming.
