East End Amritsari Shakkar – 12x1kg

Description

E.E. Amritsari Sakkar: traditional unrefined cane jaggery with a deep, caramel richness.

This is East End Foods Amritsari Sakkar, an unrefined cane sugar (jaggery) named after the Punjabi city of Amritsar. The 12×1 kg format means twelve individual 1kg packs in one case, so a busy kitchen can open one at a time while keeping the rest sealed. Unlike white refined sugar, it keeps more of the natural cane character, giving a molasses like warmth and soft golden colour.

Key Features

• Twelve 1kg packs per case, ideal for portioning across service without opening your whole stock
• Unrefined cane jaggery with a natural caramel and molasses depth that white sugar cannot match
• A staple for Punjabi and wider South Asian sweets, from til laddu to gur based treats
• Dissolves into hot liquids, so it works in masala chai, kheer and syrups
• Adds colour and rounded sweetness to marinades, chutneys and glazes

Cooking and Uses: Grate or break off pieces and melt gently into warm milk or water for chai, or stir into simmering rice puddings and semolina halwa. It balances chilli heat in chutneys and lends a burnished finish to roast vegetable and meat marinades.

Storage

Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, reseal tightly or transfer to an airtight container, as jaggery can absorb moisture and harden.
