How to distinguish the authenticity of brown sugar

1. Find the answer from the ingredient list

Most of the brown sugar we can buy on the market is processed and ready to eat, and it is basically packaged. In fact, this also makes it convenient for us to buy, because as long as there is packaging, there must be an ingredient list, and we can tell whether the brown sugar is real from the ingredient list! The ingredient list will not lie, so when you buy brown sugar, you must check the ingredient list carefully, and you must buy brown sugar with the first item "brown sugar" or "high-quality sugarcane", because this kind of brown sugar is the real brown sugar.

2. Check the pores of brown sugar

As mentioned in the first point, the black and red ones are brown sugar. So, how do we judge the quality of brown sugar that is also black and red? We often buy brown sugar in block form. For this type of block brown sugar, we can cut it open and observe the pores on the cut surface. The process of boiling brown sugar is the process of water evaporation. The thicker the sugarcane juice is boiled, the greater the resistance of the bubbles to come up. When it is poured and cooled, it will be left in the sugar, thus forming many small holes. Therefore, the quality of brown sugar can be judged by observing whether there are dense small pores on the cross section of brown sugar. The denser the small pores, the better the quality of brown sugar. You can buy it with confidence!

3. Put it into water and look at the bubbles

Not all brown sugar is in block form. How do you distinguish powdered brown sugar? Here’s one last trick: throw it into water and watch for bubbles! In fact, this trick is applicable to brown sugars of all shapes! Put different brown sugars in a cup of water. Remember it must be warm water. Then observe the bubbles it produces. The denser the bubbles, the higher the quality of the brown sugar!

Can I drink brown sugar for a long time?

1. According to our country's folk customs, women should drink some brown sugar water after giving birth. As long as the amount is appropriate, it is good for both the mother and the baby. However, many mothers often drink brown sugar water for too long, some for half a month or even for a month.
