Production process:

Brown sugar is made from sugar cane, which is extracted from the juice, clarified, boiled and refined, and made into crude sugar by the lime method (using lime as a clarifying agent), with no chemical reagents and food additives other than lime added to the whole process, which completely preserves the original flavor and nutrients of sugar cane.

The raw material used for yellow sugar is sugarcane, which contains about 95% of sucrose. The traditional method is to chop and crush the harvested sugarcane, and remove the impurities such as soil, bacteria and fiber from the pressed out juice, and then simmer it for 5-6 hours over a small fire, and keep stirring to let the water evaporate slowly, so as to make the concentration of the sugar increase gradually, and the high concentration of the syrup will be solidified to become a solid lump of crude sugar after cooling, which is also known as yellow sugar brick.
