The cultivation of sugarcane dates back over 3,000 years, with its origins believed to be in Southeast Asia and India. The extraction of sugarcane juice is mentioned in ancient Indian texts like the Atharva Veda (1500–800 BCE). Early Indians discovered that boiling and cooling sugarcane juice produced a rich, unrefined sweetener—what we now call jaggery (Gur).
For centuries, India has remained a major producer of jaggery, relying on traditional methods passed down through generations. While the Mughals and later European traders expanded sugarcane cultivation globally—leading to the rise of refined sugar—jaggery remains a widely used natural alternative due to its health benefits and deep-rooted cultural significance.
