The making of jallab sweets in Upper Egypt
In Upper Egypt's Qena governorate, the traditional production of jallab sweets, a unique sugarcane-based confection, remains a cherished cultural practice. The sweet, distinct from its namesake beverage, is crafted in small factories using age-old methods without modern machinery. The industry, deeply rooted in the region's sugarcane heritage, involves a meticulous process of boiling, molding, and sun-drying the syrup. Despite rising production costs, the tradition persists, with skills passed down through generations, underscoring its cultural significance and the community's attachment to this heritage.
