Palm Jaggery Powder: Nature’s Sweetness with a Healthy Twist
Palm Jaggery Powder – Nature’s Sweet Embrace from the Palmyra Tree
In every Tamil home that cherishes tradition, Palm Jaggery — lovingly known as Karupatti — holds a place of honour. Made from the nectar of the palmyra tree, this natural sweetener has been trusted for centuries, not only for its rich taste but also for its nourishing benefits.
At Yaadhum, we believe in keeping this age-old treasure alive in its purest form. Our Palm Jaggery Powder is prepared using traditional methods that preserve its flavour, aroma, and natural goodness.
From Tree to Table – The Traditional Way
The journey of our palm jaggery begins in the early mornings, when skilled harvesters climb the tall palmyra trees to collect fresh sap (padaneer). This nectar is then slowly boiled over a wood fire in wide earthen pots until it thickens and turns into a deep golden-brown syrup.
Once set, it is dried naturally, then gently pounded and sieved into a fine, aromatic powder. There are no chemicals, artificial colours, or preservatives — only pure, unrefined tradition in every grain.
A Treasure Trove of Nutrition
Palm jaggery is more than just a sweetener. It is a natural source of iron, helping improve blood health and combat fatigue. Its magnesium and potassium content supports heart health, while its antioxidants strengthen immunity.
In traditional Siddha and Ayurveda, karupatti is also valued for aiding digestion, cleansing the lungs, and keeping the body warm in cooler months. Unlike refined sugar, it provides steady energy without sudden spikes.
The Taste of Tradition
With its warm, earthy notes and caramel-like aroma, Palm Jaggery Powder adds depth and authenticity to countless recipes.
