In the hot summer with the tropical heat in Vietnam, a glass of sweet, cool sugarcane juice can help you dispel thirst and heat after a tiring working day. However, besides that, did you know that sugar is an indispensable substance for the human brain and energy?
Therefore, Drinkizz chooses organic golden cane sugar because it contains more nutrients than other sugars like white sugar, corn syrup, artificial sugar… So let’s find out why cane sugar triumphs over other sugars.
I. What is golden cane sugar?
Natural cane sugar is made from sugar cane, while regular white granulated sugar can be made from sugar cane or beets.
- Golden cane sugar retains a bit of molasses from cane sugar, so it has a beautiful golden color and a slightly darker flavor.
- White sugar is traditionally refined to remove all color by removing the natural molasses from the juice. To remove the color, several chemicals are used, including the harmful phosphoric acid.
The color and taste of molasses comes from repeatedly concentrating the juice from the sugarcane plant, which also increases its nutritional value.
II. Unexpected benefits from golden cane sugar:
- Micronutrients: calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, vitamin B1
- Contains soluble fiber as a food source for beneficial bacteria in the gut
- Contains phenolic compounds for anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties
- Has properties that can reduce swelling, pain and improve brain health
When you choose to buy or consume anything, prioritize foods and ingredients that contain more nutrients, because providing energy in the form of calories is not enough.
III. How can cane sugar support your energy?
Our body’s preferred source of energy is glucose broken down from food, and it works in the following ways:
- The brain of a normal adult needs about 200 grams of total glucose per day. This source of glucose can come from simple or complex carbs. Simple sugars enter the bloodstream faster than complex sugars, and blood sugar begins to rise 10-15 minutes after a meal, peaking after an hour.
- The body also needs glucose to fuel all parts of your body, and depending on how active you are, it will need more to fuel your muscles and heart. Glucose can be derived from carbohydrates, but our bodies also break down fats and proteins to make it. Since carbohydrates are digested much faster than fats and proteins, it’s important to have well-balanced meals to keep you energized but also feeling full for longer.
