Comparing yellow rock sugar and white rock sugar, yellow rock sugar is better.
When yellow rock sugar is produced, it is mainly made from white sugar as raw material and undergoes a series of processing, filtration, purification and other steps. Yellow rock sugar has not been decolorized and is relatively original. It is a rough processing technology and retains more of the nutrients of sugar cane.
White rock sugar is made by further refining and decolorizing the yellow rock sugar. It is a fine process and contains more sugar, but its nutrients are also lost, and there is no yellow sugar. Rock sugar is so pure. Yellow rock sugar has a unique sweetness from sugar cane, but it is sweet but not greasy. On the contrary, the white rock sugar has a relatively fine craftsmanship. During the processing, a large part of the impurities have been filtered out. It will taste relatively sweet and not as fragrant as yellow rock sugar.
Precautions when purchasing rock sugar
Generally speaking, the crystals are uniform, slightly yellow in color, or clear and snow-white, translucent, with a crystalline luster, and the quality of rock sugar without obvious impurities is Better. However, it is not that the whiter the color, the better. The whiter it shows the processing steps. The more procedures, the more nutrients are lost, so it is not a good rock candy. Rock sugar that is slightly yellow due to natural crystallization is often more natural, but rock sugar with poor quality often turns yellow and dark, which is caused by moisture in the rock sugar.
Smell the rock sugar and feel that it has a sweet taste. If there is no other odor, it means that it is relatively pure and better rock sugar. If you smell a strange smell, it means that our rock candy may have been stored for a long time, or if there is a musty smell, it means that the rock candy has become damp. Therefore, everyone must smell it before choosing rock candy.
