多晶冰糖 or Polycrystalline rock #sugar is an #ingredient used in #Thai and other Southeast #Asian #cuisines.
Less refined than #WhiteSugar, it’s thought to be “healthier,” although it’s still sugar.
However, because it is less #refined, it is less #sweet and has more #savory characteristics, making it great to sweeten certain dishes (or tea) without over-sweetening them. #多晶冰糖
