Jaggery In Summers
Consuming jaggery is good for your health. During the winter, sugarcane is used to make jaggery. Jaggery is sold in the market as a white, delectable confection, but as soon as the heat hits, it becomes dark and begins to rot. In such a scenario, some people who purchase sugar or jaggery for a year are unsure of how to properly store the sweetener. Jaggery begins to melt and fungus appears in the summer. Jaggery does not go bad for a year, though, if you store it properly. Tell us how to prevent jaggery from going bad in the summer. How should jaggery be stored to last a full year?
Store in Ziploc packets
Store the jaggery in a zip lock bag if you want it to last for 1 to 2 years while maintaining its flavour and colour. Make sure there is no air in the zip lock before storing the jaggery. For this, place the jaggery in a zip-top bag after wrapping it with a paper towel. You can also keep it in a plain plastic bag if you don't have a zip-lock bag. Keep the jaggery in an airtight container after wrapping it with polythene. The jaggery won't be ruined by this for many years.
