It will stay for a long long time. But if it is kept at room temp,see whether there is any fungus or worms or insects on it. If it is still dry and look fresh, then melt it. Strain and taste before using. Please try the recipes and let me know. Happy cooking, Lissie Hi Rose,

I was just thinking about my mom's aval vilayichathu and how much I miss it! how long will kerala jaggery keep? I have some from maybe a year back and I dont see anything wrong with it..Would you know how can I make sure it has not gone bad?I don't particularly like the light brown northi style jaggery we get in indian stores in US.The kerala ones are so tasty...
