Questions, answered

What is the best jaggery (gur), according to chefs?
MyTastr’s top pick is 24 Mantra Organic Jaggery Powder, chosen by Mishry tasters. Won Mishry’s three-day test of six organic jaggery powders, which tasted each one dry, dissolved and on ghee roti. It had caramel sweetness, was never bitter or salty, and dissolved in under a minute. Sold at Indian grocers and online in the US. Source: mishry.com ↗
Why is there only one pick for jaggery (gur)?
24 Mantra Organic Jaggery Powder is a rare one-pick exception: no second brand sold nationally has an unpaid backer strong enough to rank yet. Regional, single-chain and weaker national brands were checked and left off until one clears the bar.
How does MyTastr choose these picks?
Every pick is tied to a named chef, cookbook author or food expert and links to the public interview, panel or article it came from. We survey dozens, often hundreds, of top chefs, food writers and critics, and the order reflects how often and how strongly a brand is recommended. Only organic recommendations count — paid endorsements don’t — and brands can’t buy a spot. Read how we pick.
