Gur

Gur: Traditional Sweetener with Deep Flavour

Gur is a natural sweetener made from sugarcane or palm sap. This sweetener adds warmth to food with a rich, earthy taste and soft texture. Often used in desserts, drinks, and cooking, gur is preferred over refined sugar for its natural taste and simplicity. Available in solid blocks or soft paste, gur fits both modern and traditional recipes. Ideal for those looking for a natural, flavorful alternative to processed sugars.

Types of Gur

Sugarcane Gur

Sugarcane gur is made by boiling sugarcane juice until thickened. This version has a golden brown color and mild sweetness, commonly used in tea, desserts, or consumed directly.

Date Palm Gur

Date palm gur has a darker, deeper flavor profile. Most popular during winter, this type melts quickly and mixes easily in hot drinks or rice dishes.

Khejur Gur Powder

Khejur gur powder is a finely ground form of date palm gur, offering a smooth texture perfect for blending into drinks or desserts. This powdered form allows for easy incorporation without the need for melting.

Jaggery Semi Liquid

Jaggery semi liquid, or liquid gur, comes in a syrupy consistency that can be poured directly. Ideal for use in drinks or as a drizzle on sweets, this form is favored for its fluid texture.

Liquid Gur (Jhola Gur)

Liquid gur is soft and semi-melted. Stored in jars and used as syrup. Great for drizzling over pitha or mixing in warm milk.

Popular Brands

Rongdhonu, Root, Panash Food, Krrishi, Khaas Food and Shashya Prabartana deliver fresh, clean gur with each pack. These brands maintain traditional flavors with excellent texture and smooth melting properties.

Gur Price in Bangladesh

Gur is priced between 100 BDT and 800 BDT. Prices vary based on the source—sugarcane or date palm. Solid blocks are typically priced lower than jarred liquid forms. Seasonal demand and packaging size also affect the price. High-quality gur is available across various pack sizes.

How to Choose the Best Gur

Source Type

Date palm and sugarcane gur offer different flavor profiles. Choose based on the recipe or personal preference. Both types work well in sweet or savory dishes.

Texture

Gur can range from soft, syrupy forms to solid blocks. Softer gur is easier to mix, while blocks are more dense and store longer.

Storage Needs

To prevent moisture damage, store gur in airtight containers. Liquid gur should be refrigerated, while solid gur lasts longer in a cool, dry place.

Purity

Quality gur should have no added color or sugar. Look for natural colors and slight stickiness, without any artificial chemical scent.

Usage Method

Select the type of cheese based on the intended use—whether melted, sliced, or grated. Softer versions melt quickly, and solid forms are better for slow-cooking recipes.
