How is brown sugar prepared?
After harvesting the sugarcane from the fields, the farmers separate the leaves and appendages from its stem. Then they are collected and taken to the workshop. In the workshop, sugarcane is poured into the dewatering machine and their water is extracted.
The water obtained from sugarcane is boiled for two to three hours in large copper pots until the water evaporates and the concentration of sugarcane juice increases. So that the sugarcane juice does not boil and does not sink, it is constantly stirred during boiling.
To prepare pure juice, they must remove the impurities that accumulate on its surface. Of course, these impurities are not thrown away and are used elsewhere. After heating for a few hours, brown sugar, which looks almost like halva, is ready.
After solidification, it is divided into smaller parts and ready to be consumed. By cooking sugarcane juice to prepare brown sugar, several by-products are also obtained that have edible uses. It should be noted that in order to prepare high-quality red sugar, an experienced and skilled sugar maker is needed who has sufficient precision and is completely familiar with the art and technique of this work.
