The Difference Between Mishri and Sugar

Mishri and sugar are both sweeteners, but they are made differently and have some notable differences.

Sugar

Sugar is a sweet, white, crystalline substance derived from sugar cane or sugar beet. It is made by extracting the juice from these plants and then heating it to remove the water, leaving behind a concentrated syrup.

This syrup is then crystallised to form granulated sugar. One can use sugar in many culinary applications, including baking, cooking, and sweetening drinks.

Mishri

Mishri, on the other hand, is a type of Indian sweetener made from crystallised sugar. It is also known as rock candy or Kala Khane in Hindi.

It is made by heating sugar until it reaches a high temperature, at which point it begins to crystallise. The crystals are then cooled and formed into small pieces.

People use Mishri as a sweetener in many Indian desserts. Ayurvedic medicine also uses it as a throat soother and a general tonic.
