Tag: Crystalline sugar

Mishri dana, also known as rock sugar or candy sugar, contains approximately 387 calories per 100 grams, comparable to highly refined white sugar. While it is celebrated in traditional Indian practices and Ayurveda, its core nutritional profile is still primarily composed of sucrose, providing an energy boost.

While some claim that rock sugar is a healthier, more natural alternative to regular table sugar, nutritionists and health experts caution that the two are nutritionally very similar. The key differences lie in their processing, crystal size, and sweetness profile, not in their core health impact.
