Brown sugar contains about 95% sucrose and is dark yellow to reddish brown in color. It is produced using traditional Chinese techniques and is now mostly produced in Zhejiang, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou. Brown sugar is introduced in ancient Chinese medicine books. In the "New Materia Medica" of the Tang Dynasty, there is the following description under the "Sugar Cane" item: "...the method of taking it is that sugar is very beneficial to people." In 1596 AD, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" written by Li Shizhen said that The bottom line states: Sugar "harmens the spleen and soothes the liver", "enriches blood, activates blood circulation, removes stasis and removes lochia". According to records, one kilogram of brown sugar contains 900 mg of calcium and 100 mg of iron. Calcium and iron are essential minerals and trace elements for the human body. In 2000, at the National Nutrition Academic Conference, the author reported relevant research results - using atomic fluorescence spectrometer measurement, it was found that brown sugar contains very rich trace elements, some of which have the ability to strongly stimulate the body's hematopoietic function.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that postpartum women’s bodies are prone to congestion and their eight meridians are empty, often causing abdominal pain. For those with partial stasis, doctors often prescribe Shenghua Decoction, Shixiao Powder or Jinlingzi Powder, and instruct them to mix it with brown sugar after decoction. The purpose is to use brown sugar to "remove silt" or "remove lochia" to achieve pain relief. Purpose. For those who cannot afford to buy medicine or do not have time to prepare medicine, taking an appropriate amount of mid-section child urine mixed with brown sugar and taking it orally can have the same effect. "A woman cannot go without sugar for a hundred days" refers to brown sugar. There once was a young woman who was thin and weighed less than 50 kilograms due to long-term illness. After she became pregnant, she had a heavy mental burden, and she was worried that she would not be able to bear it. So she adopted traditional Chinese dietary therapy methods and designed a "food for syndrome" that warmed and replenished the deficiency and cold: she was given glutinous rice, fermented wine, eggs, and rice with brown sugar and sesame seeds. Millet porridge and other foods not only gave birth to a healthy baby, but also the body was stronger and healthier than before giving birth. She continued to breastfeed after giving birth, and the baby also developed well, lively and healthy.
Traditional Chinese medicine nutrition believes that brown sugar, which is warm in nature, plays a role in nourishing blood by "warming and replenishing it, warming it and clearing it, and warming it and dispersing it". Relatively speaking, although white sugar tastes sweet, it is white in color and neutral in nature, so its blood-enriching effect is far less than that of brown sugar. According to our analysis results, because white sugar is too pure and contains almost no trace elements, its nutritional efficacy is naturally different from that of brown sugar. Even in Japan, which is technologically advanced, many foods are specially marked with the words "pure brown sugar". This shows that brown sugar has different functions from white sugar, so families and canteens should always have brown sugar.
