Is the jaggery cone formed in a separate mold before being placed in the plastic tub, or is it poured as a hot liquid directly into the tub for sale?

Good question. I would think that it goes in shaped. The plastic container is super thin, and mine cracked and the lid was off. I prefered their other brand to this one.

Is this Jiva Organic Jaggery a block form?

Yes its block form. It is 4 sections that break apart easily when Warm. Underline WARM because its more difficult to break or cut if it is cold.

Would this work for cinnamon sugar in a shaker bottle?

If jaggery is not wrapped and sealed very tightly it becomes very dry and very hard. This writer takes a meat tenderizer metal mallet and separates the block strips in sets of four (4). It is very noisy and requires consider psi to split them apart. (Total twenty (20) altogether). You can pulverize it using the meat tenderizer technique or you can put pieces in a food processor and break it down. If you get it to the point of being grandular, it may be able to be used as cinnamon sugar. Good luck!++ BTW: Of all the Jaggery products I have tried so far; this one has the best distinctive flavor. I have purchased it many times; so, in my conclusion the extra time and the usage hassle, if it should dry out are worth it!
