Are brown sugar and brown sugar a kind of sugar?

Brown sugar (also called brown sugar) and brown sugar are not a kind of sugar, and the differences are as follows:

1, the manufacturing process is different.

Both are made of sugarcane juice, except that brown sugar is directly dehydrated and dried, brown sugar is extracted to make white sugar, and the rest is dried to make brown sugar. In a sense, brown sugar can be regarded as a "by-product" of white sugar production.

2. Different functions.

The raw material of brown sugar is sugarcane or beet. Although it is the same as the raw material of brown sugar, it is only a flavoring agent, and it has no effect of warming the uterus and relieving pain, benefiting qi and promoting blood circulation. This is because brown sugar is completely made by modern sugar-making technology, and its main component is high-purity sucrose, which can only provide heat for human body. Compared with authentic brown sugar, its menstruation regulating effect is much worse.

3. Different nutrients.

Brown sugar is a mixture of fructose, reducing sugar, glucose, molasses, vitamins and mineral trace elements in sugarcane, which is a multi-element sugar. Because honey has not been separated, it retains its unique color, burnt fragrance and various nutrients.

Brown sugar is a by-product of white sugar production, which is produced by reprocessing. Although it also contains some components of brown sugar, polysaccharides and trace elements have been removed. Therefore, the advantages of brown sugar are high sweetness, high purity and fast melting, which is suitable for cooking, but its disadvantage is poor taste, and many nutrients in sugarcane are destroyed by adding chemical additives.
