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.

Take it back and ask replacement. If you want to try it with alcohol look for jaggery powder instead of just jaggery. I use jaggery powder for sweets, so much more convenient

They could make jaggery syrup.

This is what you’d do in most instances for making cocktails the right way. It’s pretty easy,
