15. Rukmini Bai, 42, Village near Chhindwara

Observation…

Neighbor brings jaggery made in her brother’s village.

Maybe I Should…

It’s darker, rougher, not uniform. Looks nothing like market packets. But they say it’s made without chemicals, just cane and firewood.

Yes… Might Be Good…

I don’t know the word organic, but I know this taste. It feels honest. I’ll take this over shiny packets any day.
