Hello Readers,
Let's learn some important information about sugar .
How is Sugar made ?
Sugar is made from Sugar Cane and Sugar Beets. The sugarcane stalks are crushed in the mill
to squeeze out the cane juice.The juice is dark grayish green in colour . This juice is heated to
boiling point and several chemicals are added to remove its dirt and make it pure. The molasses
content is removed , from the juice after refining .
The purified sugar syrup is concentrated to super saturation and repeatedly crystallized in a vaccum
to produce white refined sugar. To produce the granulated sugar, the sugar is dried by heating it in a rotary dryer(kind of industrial dryer) and then by blowing cool air through it for several days.
Molasses is a thick liquid by-product obtained from the residue after extraction of sugars.
It is rich in carbohydrates, magnesium, copper, iron and B vitamins.
There is only 99% sucrose in white sugar, which gives only energy but not the nutrients.
In Brown Sugar, the molasses is present and also the other nutrients. It has less calories than white refined sugar.
There are many types of sugar available in the market.
1. White refined sugar
2. Brown sugar
3. Organic sugar,
4. Palm Sugar, etc.
Please choose the right one and also the healthier one .My mom says Palm sugar is healthier.
You should also know an interesting fact about sugar.
The No.1 country in the world producing sugar for 2010-2011 is Brazil and the No.2 is India.
