Let’s explore the journey of making Nolen Gur and appreciate the skilled individuals known as Shiulis who make it all possible.

The Essence of Nolen Gur

Nolen Gur, or Date molasses, is derived from the sap of date trees i.e date juice, imparting its unique taste and fragrance. While many enjoy its deliciousness, not everyone knows the intricate process of crafting Nolen Gur. Let’s dive into the fascinating method, but first, let’s pay homage to the Shiulis, the unsung heroes who collect the precious date tree juice, known colloquially as ‘gachi’ in the villages.

Harvesting the Nectar

Creating Nolen Gur by Mkulima Agro’s Date molasses involves several meticulous steps. The journey begins with the cutting of the date tree. Shiulis initiate this task as the cool breezes of early winter (Hemant) start to sweep in. The initial step requires trimming and cleaning the date tree’s leaves, with most of them being removed. Once the tree is prepared, attention turns to the crucial topmost part of the stem.
