Rock sugar is a crystallized reproduction of sugar. When we buy rock candy, we may be dazzled by different colors and different names. What white rock candy, yellow rock candy, single crystal rock candy and polycrystalline rock candy are actually only caused by the differences in production technology, boiling time and decoloration technology, and there is not much difference in nutrition and efficacy. According to color, there are white rock candy, yellow rock candy, and it is said that there is also a light gray rock candy, but it is rarely produced and cannot be seen in the market. According to the production process, there are single crystal rock candy and polycrystalline rock candy. Single crystal rock candy is granular rock candy, and polycrystalline rock candy is commonly called old rock candy and old-fashioned rock candy. In the past, white rock candy was popular because of its pure color and sweet taste, but recently yellow rock candy seems to be "hot", because it has less purification process than white rock candy, so it contains more natural components of sucrose.
