Khejur Gur

Bangladesh’s Most Beloved  Treasure

Every winter in Bangladesh is sweet like no other time of the year. As the temperature declines and the date palm trees begin to flow with sap, the entire nation, Bengali, expects one thing immediately   Khejur Gur. The natural sweetener known as the liquid gold of Bangladesh is an ingredient, yes, but much more than that. Often thought of as a South Indian dessert, Mysore Pak is gaining popularity all around the country. You can choose to make this recipe from scratch using ghee (clarified butter). However, you can also cheat in the same way as South Indians, which is to use butter.  JustDealBD offers you premium Khejur Gur, sourced straight from the most reputable place in Bangladesh for date palm.

What is Khejur Gur?

Khejur Gur or Nolen Gur is an excellent quality sweetener made from date palm. It is also known as date palm jaggary. In contrast to Patali Gur, which is entirely crystallized, Khejur Gur comes in a semi-solid form that is softer. This gives it a stronger fragrance and a somewhat more liquidy consistency, making it more versatile and delightful to use.

Khejur Gur has been made in Bangladesh for centuries. During the winter harvest season each evening, skilled tappers called “gachhis” climb tall date palm trees to incise the trunk with precision. Clay pots are tied below the cuts to collect the sap that trickles overnight. At first light, this sap, known as Khejur Rosh, is boiled immediately in large open iron vessels in a wood fire. Stirred constantly and reduced for hours, it finally turns into the rich, aromatic Khejur Gur which Bangladeshis love every winter.
