Rock sugar, also known as rock candy or sugar candy, is a hard confection made by cooling sugar syrup into large crystals, sometimes around a stick or piece of string. It can be made with different types of sugar, including white granulated sugar, sugar cane, and brown sugar. Rock sugar is especially common in Asian cuisines and is used to sweeten teas, desserts, and even savory dishes. It is less sweet than a comparable volume of granulated, white table sugar, making it an ideal, mild sweetener for many drinks and dishes. Some people believe rock sugar is healthier than white granulated sugar. However, there is no scientific evidence to support that rock sugar has distinct health benefits over granulated sugar. Moreover, rock sugar is often made from refined white sugar, making its chemical composition identical.
