What do you mean by boiling sugar to prevent sand? Isn't sugar enough to stick to your teeth?

Boiling sugar in the sand means that there are particles in the boiled sugar and it becomes solid again. When the sugar is boiled, it sticks to the teeth, indicating that it is not cooked in place.

There are two reasons for sticking teeth. One is that the boiling temperature is not enough, and there is still a lot of water in it, which can be solved by prolonging the boiling temperature.

Another is that the raw materials for cooking sugar are wrong. If it is pure sugar, it should be caused by too short cooking time. If maltose is used as raw material for boiling sugar, maltose with appropriate DE value must be selected for boiling sugar. If the DE value is too high, even if it is cooked for a long time, it will stick to the teeth.

Farmhouse Tang Tang

Farmhouse boiling sugar is a traditional process for making sugar. Its principle is to extract sugar from sugarcane or other sugar-containing materials by distillation separation process and make it into a certain shape for use. This technology exists in many rural areas of our country.

Now, because of the rich materials, it is more convenient or economical to buy sugar than homemade sugar, and there are various varieties to choose from, so this technology is gradually decreasing. Generally, it is reused in relatively remote mountain villages, or because of business needs, artistic pursuit, small-scale private business operation and protection of intangible culture.

Shimen farmers cooking sugar is one of them, which is representative from its existing state and its combination with local folk customs. In addition, ginger sugar in Fenghuang Ancient City of Hunan Province and cane sugar in Renhua County of Guangdong Province are also famous locally. Their production technology principles all belong to the farmer's sugar cooking.
