Sugar is the most commonly used condiment, but it is not particularly recommended that you use it in large quantities. Because sugar is refined, there are few nutrients in it, which mainly plays a seasoning role. Moreover, white sugar also contains a lot of sugar, and eating too much will affect your health.
Sometimes, sugar is also used for diet health care, because it has a certain effect of moistening lung and clearing lung. However, the effect of clearing lung heat from rock sugar is better, and rock sugar is the first choice when stewing soup.
White sugar also has a certain detoxification effect. In fact, all sweet sugar has a little detoxification effect, while white sugar has a faster effect because of its very high sugar content. In the past, if someone ate something poisonous, in an emergency, people would immediately pour white sugar water to detoxify.
Drinking white sugar water can also neutralize the poison of fish and shrimp. For example, eat crabs without brown sugar. Because crabs are cold, brown sugar conflicts with them. Therefore, I suggest you drink a bowl of ginger juice after eating crabs.
Advantages and disadvantages of rock sugar:
Contrary to brown sugar, rock sugar is cold. If you have a cold, use brown sugar, and if you have a cold, use rock sugar.
Brown sugar is suitable for summer and winter, and rock sugar is suitable for spring and autumn. In spring, the weather begins to heat up slowly, and many people are prone to cough, get angry and dry cough. If it is a dry cough without phlegm, you can use rock sugar. It can not only clear fire, but also moisten lung and clear lung heat. So we will use rock sugar more than brown sugar in spring. If you usually like to drink brown sugar water, you can reduce the amount appropriately in spring, because brown sugar is warm and may get angry.
Autumn is dry, you need to moisten your lungs, and you can also use rock sugar.
Rock sugar can clear lung heat and moisten lung at the same time. Therefore, when the lungs are hot and have a dry cough, rock sugar is often used. For example, stewed pears with rock sugar can moisten the lungs and release lung heat. Similarly, you must put rock sugar when stewing tremella, because tremella is also moistening the lungs, and it has a "1+1>; 2 ",if you put other sugar, you won't have this effect.
