Rock sugar can be made from refined syrup, an intermediate product in the refining workshop of a refining sugar factory, or from white sugar through processes such as redissolution, cleaning and recrystallization. It has white, yellow, red and crimson, and its crystals are like ice.
Because the composition of rock sugar is glucose containing crystallization water, it can replace white sugar just like the composition of white sugar decomposed in the body; Because of its high purity, it is superior to white sugar and quite competitive in the market. The quality of rock candy is pure and it is not easy to deteriorate. Besides being eaten as candy, it can also be used as a high-grade food sweetener, preparing drugs, impregnating alcohol and nourishing auxiliary drugs.
