What are the raw materials of Korean brown sugar?

Hello, the raw material of Korean brown sugar is sugar cane, which contains about 95% sucrose. The traditional method is to chop and crush the harvested sugar cane. The pressed juice first removes impurities such as soil, bacteria, fiber, etc., and then boils it over low heat. Boil for 5 to 6 hours, stirring constantly to allow the water to slowly evaporate, so that the sugar concentration gradually increases. After cooling, the high-concentration syrup will solidify into solid lumps of jaggery, which are brown sugar bricks. This traditional method maintains the original nutrition of sugar cane, while also giving the brown sugar a special caramel-like flavor. The longer the cooking time during the production process, the darker the color of the brown sugar bricks, giving the brown sugar different shades of reddish brown.
