1. Introduction to Rock Sugar
Table of Contents
Rock Sugar (locally known as Đường Phèn) is a high-grade sweetener produced from refined sugarcane. Through a slow crystallization process, the sugar forms large, translucent, diamond-like crystals. Unlike refined granulated sugar, Rock Sugar is celebrated for its mellow, clean sweetness and is traditionally considered to have “cooling” properties in Eastern wellness practices.
Vinahugo provides two varieties of Rock Sugar:
-
White Rock Sugar: Pure, clear crystals for a neutral, clean sweetness.
