2 Yang Sheng Brown Sugar Taiwan s Sugar Healthy Sugar Brown sugar, also called red sugar by some, is mainly made from cane sugar. Taiwan s warm climate is well suited for sugar cane and cultivation began in the early 17 th century. The dense sweetness of Taiwan s sugar cane also exhibits a complex fruity fragrance. Because it contains these slight flavor ingredients, it is just not all sweetness which means there is even, balanced quality. Why is brown sugar good for you? Ordinary refined sugar does not contain minerals after passing through the refinement process. Brown sugar does not go through the first stage of the refinement process so it is less refined and contains a variety of vitamins and minerals especially calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium and folic acid. It not only provides you with these nutrients, brown sugar also has less calories than ordinary white sugar. Can you really eat an endless amount of brown sugar? Of course, eating too much will give you too many calories. Fruits and vegetables are the best source of minerals. We do recommend using brown sugar as a substitute for regular sugar in your daily life. It is not only lower in calories but also fits well into a raw / unprocessed food lifestyle. Advantages of brown sugar ginger tea: 1. Weight control and arteriosclerosis improvement Research has shown brown sugar can improve hardening of arteries and effectively prevent plasma levels of neutral fat and insulin levels from rising so brown sugar is good for weight control and arteriosclerosis improvement. 2. Calcium, iron and other mineral retention The iron and calcium are kept in brown sugar. Eating brown sugar not only adds sweetness but also allows the body to absorb the nutrients contained within. People with a sweet tooth or who crave sugary snacks can consider switching from candy made from refined sugar to brown sugar. 3. Helps to alleviate menstrual discomfort Ginger and brown sugar make a perfect combination. Ginger contains gingerol which makes it spicy. However drinking icy beverages or consuming ice when the weather is hot in summertime can easily cause abdominal asthenia cold. Excessive asthenia cold can cause discomfort for women when they are having their menstrual period. Eating some ginger once in a while in the

3 summer can help with the problem. Women can drink brown sugar ginger tea once a day two or three days before their period starts to alleviate the cramping and discomfort (usually 2 or 3 days after one s period starts). At this time, it not necessary to drink any more brown sugar ginger tea. From the viewpoint of Chinese medicine and health practices, brown sugar is a warming and nourishing food which promotes qi, alleviates stomach and intestinal discomfort, invigorates blood, removes statis, warms the meridians, disperses cold and relieves pain. Eating brown sugar during one s menstrual period can help menstrual blood discharge, alleviate cramping, reduce bloating and relive lower back pain, remarked Taipei City Chinese Medicine Hospital Internal Medicine Department Head Cheng Hui-cheng. Mackay Hospital Nutritionist Ding Min-yu agrees with this view. It makes sense to eat an appropriate amount of brown sugar during one s menstrual period. The calcium and magnesium contained in brown sugar has calming and relaxing effects. The iron inside can supplement the iron lost during one s period so the body will not feel fatigued due to iron deficiency. 4. For headaches caused by cold and chills, it can be made into a hot beverage to disperse cold, promote blood circulation and alleviate pain. How do you make a drink from brown sugar cubes? Making brown sugar drink from brown sugar cubes is a more direct way to absorb nutrients inside. It is easier for the body to absorb the nutrients when brown sugar is dissolved in water rather than directly eaten. The following methods can be used: 1. Hot drink: One cube can be steeped or boiled in 500cc-600cc of hot water. The concentration may be adjusted based on your own preference. Sweet potato or soup balls may be added. It can also be cooked together with red beans to make a sweet soup.. 2. Cold drink: After steeping or boiling, wait until it reaches room temperature and place in refrigerator to make a cold drink. How do you select good brown sugar? Examining the appearance is a good way to select brown sugar. Coarse and lumpy brown is actually higher quality handmade brown sugar. Brown sugar which is crumbly and has large chunks of white crystal is made by a natural crystallization process. So higher quality brown sugar is less smooth and even. How do you store brown sugar? Brown sugar has a higher concentration of molasses and also more moisture and impurities. If it is not sealed properly or moisture gets in, the brown sugar will get damp. Therefore, it is best to: 1. Place in cool, dry location when unopened.

4 2. Place in refrigerator after opening. Will still be good for use for 6 months. When brown sugar is damp, it becomes less sweet and will develop a slightly sour taste. It is best not to eat brown sugar that has turned bad or sour. Should some people avoid eating brown sugar? People who suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure or kidney disease (because brown sugar has high sodium and potassium content) or people who are trying to control their weight to limit their consumption, avoid eating brown sugar or seek out the advice of a nutritionist. Chinese doctors say that people with dry mouths and tongues, poor appetite or readily produce mucus (eating too much sugar causes body dampness and produces mucus) should avoid eating brown sugar.
