Desi Shakkar Recipe

How We Make CANEZO's Desi Shakkar

At CANEZO, we are committed to delivering the highest quality Desi Shakkar, a traditional unrefined cane sugar, made from 100% organic sugarcane. Here’s a detailed look at how we carefully craft this natural sweetener:

The Journey from Field to Final Product

1. Handpicked Organic Sugarcane

Our journey begins with the selection of premium organic sugarcane from sustainable farms. Each cane is meticulously handpicked to ensure only the finest quality reaches our production facility.

2. Natural Juice Extraction

  1. Washing: The freshly harvested sugarcane is thoroughly washed to remove any dirt or impurities.
  2. Crushing: We use a modern sugarcane crusher to extract the juice, ensuring maximum yield while maintaining the purity of the juice.

3. Clarification Process

  1. Initial Filtration: The extracted juice is filtered through a fine mesh sieve to eliminate large particles and debris.
  2. Organic Clarification: We use natural clarifying agents such as okra juice, dried hibiscus flowers, or ground green gram. These agents help in removing impurities without adding any chemicals.
  3. Optional Lime Addition: To enhance clarification, a small amount of fresh lime juice may be added, helping in further purification.

4. Careful Boiling and Concentration

  1. Controlled Heating: The clarified juice is poured into large stainless steel or copper pans and gently heated. We maintain a precise temperature of around 105°C (221°F) to avoid caramelization.
  2. Continuous Skimming: As the juice boils, impurities rise to the surface. Our team carefully skims off the scum to keep the juice clear.
  3. Constant Stirring: The juice is stirred continuously to prevent sticking and to ensure even heating throughout the process.

5. Natural Crystallization

  1. Thickening: The boiling process continues until the juice reaches a thick syrup consistency. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect crystallization.
  2. Crystallization Testing: We test the syrup by cooling a small sample. Once it solidifies upon cooling, we know it’s ready for the next stage.

6. Setting and Cooling

  1. Pouring into Trays: The thickened syrup is carefully poured into trays or molds and spread evenly.
  2. Cooling Period: We allow the syrup to cool and naturally crystallize over 12-24 hours at room temperature.

7. Breaking and Drying

  1. Breaking into Chunks: Once fully set, the crystallized sugar is broken into smaller chunks.
  2. Final Drying: These chunks are laid out on clean trays and dried in a well-ventilated area or under sunlight for 1-2 days to remove any remaining moisture.

8. Packaging with Care

  1. Quality Check: Each batch undergoes a rigorous quality check to ensure it meets our high standards.
  2. Eco-friendly Packaging: The Desi Shakkar is then packaged in eco-friendly, airtight containers to preserve its natural flavor and freshness.
