What's the difference between potato chips and brown sugar?

The traditional brown sugar is made by cutting and twisting sugarcane, and then pressing it five times, filtering it three times, floating it two times, and sinking it one time. It is a kind of sugar made by traditional technology, and there is not much special processing. On the basis of brown sugar, after further refining and purification, there is white sugar. If it is further dissolved and crystallized, it is rock sugar.

Sliced candy refers to a kind of flaky candy. Most of the sliced sugar sold in the market is made by mixing the remaining crystallization mother liquor and defective products when making rock candy, adding water to dissolve it, and then transforming it into shapes. It can also be understood as sugar made from rock candy honey or white sugar.

2, the appearance is different

Brown sugar is square and granular, dark red in color, even a little black, with some small black spots in the middle; The candy is mostly light yellow and rectangular, which looks a bit like a thick biscuit. The structure is dense, and there will be a layer of "sand line" composed of smaller sucrose crystals in the middle.

3. Different tastes

The taste of brown sugar has the sweetness of sugarcane, and there is a little bitterness in the sweetness, which will not make people feel tired, but will make people feel comfortable and sweet; The taste of sliced sugar is similar to that of rock candy, sweet and a little bit of sugarcane. It is a very popular sweetener in Guangzhou and Guangxi.

4. Different nutrition

In the production process of brown sugar, there is no deep processing, so the loss of nutrients is less, and almost all the ingredients in raw sugar cane are retained. Sliced sugar is made from sugar water left over from the production of rock candy. After fine processing, it contains almost no trace elements and other nutrients contained in brown sugar.
