Is sugarcane brown sugar made from sugarcane? What is the market price per jin? What are its effects and functions? What is the difference from ordinary brown sugar?
Sugarcane brown sugar is a type of sugar boiled down from sugarcane juice, which retains the nutrients in sugarcane, so many people like to eat it, and regular consumption can have effects such as blood replenishment and hematopoiesis, and anti-inflammation. So is sugarcane brown sugar made from sugarcane? What is the market price per jin? What are its effects and functions? What is the difference from ordinary brown sugar?
How is sugarcane brown sugar made?
Sugarcane juice is filtered to remove impurities, boiled by physical methods, and naturally condensed into blocks. It does not go through industrial decolorization steps, retaining the original nutrients in sugarcane.
Market price:
At present, the price of sugarcane brown sugar on the market is still relatively stable. For loose-packed sugar, it is about 4 yuan per jin, while individually small-packaged sugar is relatively more expensive, at about 5-8 yuan. Of course, there will also be certain differences by region, so everyone should still refer to local prices.
Effects and functions:
1. Blood replenishment and hematopoiesis
Brown sugar contains a lot of iron, more than 5 times that of white sugar, and can play a role in hematopoiesis and blood replenishment. Brown sugar also contains some folic acid and trace elements, which can accelerate blood circulation, increase blood volume, stimulate the body's hematopoietic function, and expand blood volume.
2. Delaying aging
The amino acids, cellulose and other substances contained in brown sugar can effectively protect and restore the fiber structure and water-locking ability of the epidermis and dermis, strengthen skin tissue structure and skin elasticity, while supplementing skin nutrition, promoting cell regeneration ability, and alleviating aging.
3. Removing spots and beautifying the face
Certain natural acids and pigment-regulating substances contained in brown sugar can effectively regulate various pigment metabolism processes, balance the amount of pigment secretion and pigment distribution in the skin, and reduce abnormal local pigment accumulation.
4. Nourishing
95% of the sugar content in brown sugar belongs to sucrose, and it also contains some glucose, fructose and other monosaccharide and polysaccharide energy substances. These all belong to simple short-chain sugars, can be quickly digested and absorbed by the human body, can accelerate the metabolism of skin cells, and provide energy for cells. Therefore, brown sugar is a commonly used nourishing sugar for women.
5. Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis
Brown sugar has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Because it is warm in nature, it has the effect of “warming and nourishing, warming and unblocking, warming and dispersing” to achieve the effect of promoting blood circulation, replenishing blood and dispersing stasis. It is suitable for people with a blood stasis constitution and has a nourishing effect on yin deficiency.
6. Anti-inflammation
Brown sugar contains acidic substances such as lysine and malic acid, which have a killing effect on many types of bacteria and can be used to treat inflammation such as acute and chronic bronchitis, acute and chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer. Drinking brown sugar water after catching a cold also has an auxiliary therapeutic effect. Alleviating aging: the various vitamins and antioxidant substances contained in brown sugar can resist free radicals, rebuild and protect the basic structure of cells, and maintain normal cell function and metabolism.
Difference from ordinary brown sugar:
Sugarcane sugar is a general term for sugar made from sugarcane, including brown sugar, white sugar, rock sugar and many others, which actually all belong to sucrose. In daily life, what is called sugarcane sugar is mostly brown sugar bricks, and a small part is raw sugar made from sugarcane. Brown sugar is definitely sugarcane sugar. Brown sugar is a mixture of sucrose and molasses, and its chemical composition is relatively complex, but the main component is still sucrose, while sugarcane sugar is the general term for all sucrose, including brown sugar.
