Which is better, brown sugar or brown sugar? What is the difference?

1. Brown sugar and brown sugar have similar nutritional components.

The production process of brown sugar is relatively simple: after removing impurities from sugarcane juice, it is boiled with low fire for a long time to make high-concentration syrup, and then it is cold-cut to make brown sugar. In terms of nutritional components, the sucrose content in brown sugar is above 90%, but it does not have the legendary "beauty beauty" effect. After all, its raw sugar cane has no magical effect.

Brown sugar is a kind of brown sugar. Its color is deep because of high boiling temperature and long time, and the sugar made of concentrated syrup has a dark appearance and a strong burnt taste. The nutritional components of brown sugar and brown sugar are similar, and the calcium and iron contents are not much different from those of ordinary green leafy vegetables, but it is easy to eat one or two hundred grams of vegetables at a time, while it is obviously impossible to eat one or two hundred grams of sugar at a time.

2. The darker the brown sugar, the better.

Brown sugar has a burnt taste because the Maillard reaction between sugar and protein at high temperature will produce an appetizing smell. This is the source of brown sugar and coffee burnt smell, and the common smells of braised pork and sesame seed cake come from Maillard reaction.

The darker the color of brown sugar, the stronger Maillard reaction. Maillard reaction will produce acrylamide and glycosylation products (AGEs), which are suspected carcinogens. Current research shows that age may be related to various chronic degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis. Therefore, the darker the brown sugar, the better.

3. Handmade does not mean safer.

At present, many traditional handmade brown sugar are made in the form of small workshops, most of which have no awareness of food safety risks and will not detect whether harmful substances such as acrylamide will exceed the standard; Even if large food enterprises use food additives, they will use them within a legal and safe range, which is relatively safer and more reliable.

The Dietary Guide for China Residents suggests that everyone should eat less than 25g of sugar and not more than 50g at most, that is, if he drinks black sugar water, he should not drink more than two cups a day.
