Rock Sugar
Large crystalline sugar that dissolves slowly for a clean, mild sweetness.
Rock sugar is sucrose crystallized into translucent chunks. Milder and less cloying than granulated sugar, it is used across Chinese and Southeast Asian cooking to round out braises, drinks, and syrups with a clean sweetness and glossy finish.
