Holi Gujhiya
Jaggery is used in Gujhiya. Sulphur Dioxide is commonly used in the processing of jaggery - the black syrup is converted into the dark yellow hard mass. More the Sulphur Dioxide used, brighter the colour. Food Safety Regulations does not permit more than 70 ppm of sulphur dioxide; in the festive times of Holi, this number increases to as high as 350 ppm - 1,500 ppm. This is detrimental to health so buy gujhiya from reputed vendors only. more

One would find this kind of classification as rather "subjective" ! more

Reputed vendors are those who do business to serve the society and not for earning profit. That is the way our earstwhile business men such as Birla, Tata, Bata and Dhakuria did business. Since the business concept of today is to increase the bottom line there is hardly any reputed business community exists today. more
