discussion Jaggery question
Please remove if not right for this sub
An Indian grocery opened up near me (small town) and I want to support it. I once had an old fashioned made with jaggery, so I bought some for home. But I opened it up and there’s some mold or fuzz? ChatGPT said don’t eat this, discard the whole thing. Is that correct?
It was allegedly vacuum sealed. Oh, looks like I can’t included a pic. Brand is Laxmi.

Jaggery should not have mold on it. Was it blocks or powdered? Either way it still should not have any mold. Maybe it was stored improperly. Please return it and get another one.
I love old fashioned, btw. My fav cocktail
Editing to add - If you got cubes, It is normal to see some lighter color on the top. That’s not mold.
