Time is a pig-making knife, which cannot be separated from these four accomplices: sugar, soup, lying down and scalding.
Sugar, as the number one accomplice, has gradually advanced to many kinds, such as brown sugar, white sugar, crystal sugar, soft sugar, etc.
The prices are different and the looks are different. Which is the best nutrition?
Don’t worry, Dr. Clove.
Brown sugar, white sugar… can’t tell
In fact, whether brown sugar, white sugar, crystal sugar or granulated sugar, they were originally extracted from sucrose or beet and all belong to sucrose.
However, with the different manufacturing techniques, they have become different in appearance. Generally speaking, they are divided into two types.
1. Brown Sugar
The treatment is simple. After juicing sugar cane or beet, filtering and boiling can be concentrated into brown sugar.
Step 2: Sugar
On the basis of brown sugar treatment, more purification and decolorization processes are carried out, and finally impurities are removed to become white sugar.
Through the re-production of white sugar crystals, granular crystalline white granulated sugar, ice crystalline crystal sugar and soft and delicate small grain crystalline soft white sugar are formed.
I have to mention the rumor in the legend that [crystal sugar reduces fire and white sugar causes excessive internal heat]. The same thing is just different from handsome and ugly. Where will it have different effects?
Brown sugar is more expensive than white sugar. Is it more nutritious?
Anyone who has been to the supermarket knows that brown sugar is more expensive than other sugars. Those who don’t know that sugar also discriminates against others, but the warm-hearted salesperson who loves selling will definitely count the 108 effects of brown sugar with his fingers.
Judging from the production process, brown sugar is only heated and concentrated sugarcane juice. Apart from the loss of some vitamins, brown sugar does retain most of the nutrients in sugarcane, and there are indeed some minerals more than white sugar.
The more refined white granulated sugar, crystal sugar and soft sugar contain almost no other nutrients except sucrose and water.
But ah! Fifty cents is indeed more than ten cents, but when it comes to buying a house and a car, there is no difference.
Moreover, they are all high-calorie foods and their nutritional value is not high.
As to why brown sugar is more expensive than white sugar, the cost is lower in terms of technology, but it is not as common as white sugar and its sales volume is small, resulting in higher production and circulation costs for manufacturers.
Speaking of which, some friends will definitely say that they cannot accept it. Are the effects of brown sugar circulated in those years fake… fake…?
Sugar red is not much.
I have to admit that although brown sugar is not of high nutritional value, there are indeed many magical effects circulating.
1. Functional Brown Sugar
Some ancient brown sugar and some functional brown sugar are often seen on the market. In fact, with some ginger juice, red date juice and longan juice added, it is better to eat jujube with sugar cane, which tastes better.
2. Brown sugar supplements iron?
Brown sugar contains less iron, and the absorption rate of this iron is still low, which has little significance for improving anemia. If you eat brown sugar fiercely, the blood will not be replenished, but the meat will grow very fast.
3. Great aunt savior?
When menstruation is in pain, a cup of warm brown sugar water really feels good.
However, there is no conclusive scientific evidence to prove that brown sugar can treat dysmenorrhea. If you want to be comfortable, it is also possible to drink universal plain boiled water.
The sugar is used correctly and the cooking flavor is better.
If the sugar is used correctly, the cooking flavor will be better.
White sugar: Although it is not as sweet as brown sugar, its purity is relatively high and its taste is relatively pure. It is suitable for increasing freshness and flavor. Add some sugar when scrambling eggs, and the eggs will be more tender and smooth.
Brown sugar: It has a special molasses flavor. It is very good to make bean paste, boil red bean soup and steamed sugar rice cakes.
Crystal Sugar: The taste is sweeter. Add a little soup and cooking, and the taste of the dish is better and looks more shiny.
Soft sugar: Small particles, sweeter than white sugar, and more soluble in water. It is common in the addition of general drinks, snacks and other sugar products.
How much sugar is good to eat every day?
Can’t eat more sugar, eating more will not only make people fat, but also increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, etc.
