Compared with white rock candy, yellow rock candy is better. The main difference between white rock candy and yellow rock candy is the color difference. Because the yellow rock candy has not been decolored, it is light yellow, and it also retains many nutrients of sugarcane, so in this respect, the nutrients of yellow rock candy are much more than those of white rock candy.

Yellow rock candy belongs to polycrystalline rock candy, with irregular crystals, low degree of refinement, large size, different sizes and slightly low gloss. Because there are no decoloring and refining steps, more sugarcane components are retained, which has the fragrance of sugarcane, less loss of nutritional components, uneven light yellow color and less impurities.

Introduction of rock sugar

Rock candy is an ice-like crystal fried by white sugar. It is a large granular crystalline sugar made of sucrose and protein, which is made by redissolution, crystallization and recrystallization. There are single crystal and polycrystalline, transparent or translucent. Because its crystal is ice-like, it is also called ice particles. Natural rock sugar has white, yellow, light gray and other colors. In addition, there are all kinds of colored rock candy with edible pigments on the market.

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 is white, yellowish, reddish and crimson, and the crystal is like ice, hence the name rock sugar. 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.
