You’ll be buying directly from the producer. The Locavore does not handle orders, payments, delivery, or customer support.
Use this jaggery for desserts like payasam and sakkarai pongal, or wherever you want a deeper, more caramel-like sweetness than regular sugar. It can also be stirred into hot drinks or used in sauces and chutneys that benefit from a little sweetness.
Known as karupatti in Tamil, this jaggery is made from fresh palmyra sap tapped from trees at VaanaVizha’s farm. The sap is boiled down into a dark, intensely flavoured jaggery with a rounded sweetness and notes of caramel and chocolate.
VaanaVizha works with farmers who practise intercropping and cultivate diverse crops while encouraging greater biodiversity on their farms. Rather than rely on synthetic chemical inputs, they use practices such as composting, mulching and biochar to build soil health.
