India is the world's largest producer and consumer of jaggery, a type of unrefined sugar that's used for making desserts, drinks, and offerings to gods across the country.
In the Indian state of Uttarakhand, small factories that use traditional methods produce up to 20,000 kilograms of jaggery a day.
We visited Iqbalpura, India, to see how jaggery is made in such big batches.

My grandfather used to own one of those mills, thought we only processed the sugarcane from our fields. One of my fondest childhood memories was that we used to wait for the jaggery with banana leaves at the end.

That’s part of why the FDA allows for a certain amount of foreign material (up to 10% 🤢) including bugs and sht to be included in food. A lot of the places where our food products are grown do not have the infrastructure to have sophisticated processing facilities or just by the nature of the processing, certain ‘inclusions’ will be introduced. That’s why you’re not supposed to eat raw cookie dough or flour. Not just because of the eggs but because birds inevitably sht in the wheat fields and there’s not really a way to effectively eliminate the chances of certain contamination unless you bake it. I agree it looks pretty sus but if you think about stuff like chocolate, cocoa beans are usually just laid out to dry in the sun. A certain number of critters are bound to get in there. It’s gross but after processing is ultimately harmless to us. I just try not to think about it too much or I’ll just become neurotic about it. 😂

@user-us8bz7rt7y 2 месяца назад

@emdee31 I understand your concerns but a majority of people wearing gloves is mostly for placebo. Think about it, you wash your hands and over time they get dirty and sweaty and you wash them again, however, people wearing gloves just keep wearing the same pair many a times. The policies are generally to change gloves after every single order (in fast food industry) and wash your hands before wearing new gloves, but do you really think that people follow this during rush hour? Some places here in India have banned gloves as they make your hands sweaty faster and the climate being warmer leads to more bacterial growth. It's better to just let people use their hands and let them wash them more frequently which most people do. Imagine you make something which is sticky with bare hands, as soon as you're done you would want to wash your hands, even if it is not with soap you'll flush most of the things stuck to your hands. You can read research articles, wearing gloves improperly is far worse than just washing your hands regularly. Also in the case of this particular video, the jaggery balls are made when the jaggery is well over 60 celcius so it's really fine.

Yes actually jaggery got abandoned by masses and only village people used it by early 2000s since it was seen as orthodox and eaten by poor people. So the demand just died out and only remote villages used to make it. Its production halted. This must be one of the remote factories which survived the whole jaggery bycott. But now due to the whole organic moment and Jaggery being much better for diabetic patient than sugar. Its again started getting popular and now its actually costlier than sugar. Which was not the case earlier. So probably we will see factories for the same soon.
