What is the difference between white sugar and rock sugar? Rock sugar is divided into two kinds of monocrystalline rock sugar and polycrystalline rock sugar. Monocrystalline rock sugar, also known as granulated rock sugar, is made from white granulated sugar, after re-solubilization, purification and recrystallization.

Polycrystalline rock sugar, also known as natural rock sugar, is solidified directly from sugar cane juice, which contains no other ingredients.

There's a little story about natural rock candy. It is said that in the past, farmers in the sugar cane growing areas planted too much sugar cane, which was not too sweet, so in order to make it easier to store, they squeezed the sugar cane into juice, but as time went by, the juice solidified into lumps, so that the sugar cane, which was originally not sweet, suddenly became sweet, and the transportation was also convenient.

Because of the pure quality of rock sugar, and is not easy to deteriorate, in addition to direct consumption and made of candy, but also can be used for high-level food sweeteners, modulation of pharmaceutical impregnation of alcohol and tonic and medicines, etc..

White sugar is divided into two kinds of white sugar and sugar.

White sugar is the crystallization of sucrose, the purity of which is generally above 99.8%. It has a pure sucrose sweetness and can be consumed directly, and is also the main variety of industrial sugar.

Mian white sugar is a fine sucrose crystals by a layer of converted sugar syrup package and become, the purity and white sugar is comparable to the converted sugar, because the converted sugar has a honey-like flavor, sweetness is greater than the sucrose, so it has a soft white sugar, aroma, sweeten the role of the role of the sugar. It is more suitable for direct consumption, especially cold drinks and cold food is better, but should not be used to make high-level pastries.

Sugar consumption:

Sugar is a nutrient, consumption should be controlled within a certain range, in the end, how much each person should eat each day is appropriate?

For the average person (except diabetics), each kilogram of body weight per day should be controlled at about 0.5g, that is, weighing 20 kilograms of children, do not exceed 10g per day, weighing 60 kilograms of adults, about 30g per day or so, usually it is best to strictly control the amount of sugar intake, so as not to overdose on the body's health. Because icing sugar does not contain fructose. Dissolved in water is all glucose. There is also the raw material is not the same, white sugar is mostly sugar cane and sugar beet press, icing sugar is now mostly rice or corn hydrolyzed.

I hope my answer can help you.
