About Rock sugar
Rock sugar, also known as rock candy or sugar crystals, is a sweetener made by crystallizing pure cane sugar into solid, translucent clusters. Popular in Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese, Indian, and Vietnamese cooking, it is often used to sweeten soups, teas, desserts, and marinades due to its subtle and less cloyingly sweet taste compared to granulated sugar. Unlike refined sugar, rock sugar undergoes minimal processing, which preserves its natural texture and clarity. However, it does contain nearly pure sucrose, offering little nutritional value beyond energy, with no fiber, vitamins, or minerals. While it can enhance flavor in moderation, excessive consumption may contribute to weight gain and blood sugar spikes. In traditional medicine, rock sugar is sometimes believed to have soothing effects for the throat when dissolved in warm liquids, but scientific evidence supporting such claims remains limited.
