After the harvested sugarcane is chopped and crushed, the juice is first removed from the soil, bacteria, fiber and other impurities.

Then boiled over low heat for 5 ~ 6 hours, stirring continuously to let the water slowly evaporate, so that the sugar concentration increases gradually.

After cooling, the high concentration of syrup will solidify into a solid lump of crude sugar, that is, brown sugar bricks, which maintains the original nutrition of sugarcane.

At the same time, brown sugar has a special flavor similar to caramel.

The longer it takes to boil in the production process, the darker the brown sugar brick is, which makes the brown sugar show different shades of reddish brown.

While our common traditional powdered brown sugar is made from brown sugar bricks after grinding.

Brown sugar is easy to get damp if it is not properly preserved, and there are generally two ways to preserve it.

Method 1: Brown sugar had better be packed in a fresh-keeping box or glass bottle, sealed and stored in the freezer.

This method can preserve brown sugar for a long time.

Method 2: If the brown sugar is relatively dry, you can use a sealed iron can to store it.

Be careful not to be exposed to the sun, and put it in a cool and ventilated place.

The guarantee period of brown sugar is generally about 18 months, and the storage of brown sugar must be sealed and must not be exposed to dampness.

If brown sugar is found to be caked and pasted black, or smells like alcohol, sour or other foreign bad smell, it is recommended that it has gone bad.

Brown sugar should be kept in a cool place as much as possible, not in a hot and humid place.

Once exposed to moisture, it will breed lactic acid bacteria, gradually decompose the sucrose components in brown sugar into glucose and lactose.

And then convert them into other organic acids, which reduces the sweetness of brown sugar and has a certain sour taste, causing the deterioration of brown sugar.

Drinking brown sugar water every day for a long time is more helpful to prevent and alleviate the dizziness and body deficiency symptoms caused by hypoglycemia.

Brown sugar contains almost all the ingredients in sugarcane juice because it is not highly refined.

Brown sugar not only has the function of sugar, but also contains vitamins and trace elements, such as iron, zinc, manganese, chromium and so on.

Take iron as an example, there are about 4 milligrams of iron in every 100 grams of brown sugar.

If you drink 25 grams of brown sugar every day, of which there are about 1 milligram (4%) of iron, the iron you absorb is only 0.03 ~ 0.05 milligrams, which is only 0.15% or 0.4% of the amount needed by the human body.

Therefore, from a nutritional point of view, the greatest effect of drinking brown sugar water every day is to replenish physical strength.

But if it is diabetes (or high blood sugar), obesity needs weight control, it is not appropriate to drink brown sugar water every day.

If drinking is not only ineffective, but will have an inestimable negative effect.
