PEARL SUGAR CANDY (MISHRI)
[CODE NO.3508]  

Candy Sugar, (or sweet diamonds as it is popularly called or mishri) is sparking white big crystal sugar obtained by cooling supersaturated sugar solutions. Its large crystals not only are pure but are also very attractive. The English word "candy" derives from Arabic "qandi," meaning something made with sugar. Candy, specifically sugar candy, is a confection made from a concentrated solution of sugar in water, to which flavorings and colorants can be added. Candies come in numerous colors and varieties and have a long history in popular culture. In India the large crystalline form of sugar is called “Mishri”. The word “Mishri” comes from Chinese, originally Mi-Sha-Li, "sweet-pebble-glassy," a sweet crystalline (glassy) substance the size of pebbles.

Candy Sugar has its origins in India and Persia. Arabic writers in the first half of the 9th century described the production of candy sugar. Crystals were grown as a result of cooling supersaturated sugar solutions. Candy sugar is known for centuries for its therapeutic applications. It is also popular among makers of homemade fruit liqueurs. It is loved by both kids and grownups; this rock candy makes a good substitute for dessert after meals. You may be served "saunf" (fennel seeds and sugar crystals after lunch and dinner in hotels). In ayurveda, when medicine contains sugar, this sugar or its powder is to be used when making medicines. If you taste refined sugar (ordinary sugar used while making tea/coffee) and the candy sugar you will realize the difference. Candy sugar contains some minerals which are compatible with milk. Candy sugar has more satisfying taste.

The reason is slow crystallization which takes place gives slightly more ordered structure. Eating small amounts of sugar is considered good. It allows ingestion of slightly toxic medicines, which will be vomited otherwise. Honey also shares this property. With some fats and proteins, sugar adds fertility property. Such sweets are generally used as "Prasadam" in temples. Sugar plays two very significant roles in relation to food security. First of all, sugar as a food crop may be considered an inexpensive and abundant source of calories and thus important in the fulfillment of basic human energy requirements. Secondly, sugar plays an important economic role in generating income, employment and export earnings. Sugar is typically one of the most significant contributors to dietary energy supply.

In fact, sugar is the third most important source of per caput dietary energy supply (DES) after cereal products. And it is a relatively inexpensive food. The cost of calories from sugar is about 15 percent less than that from cereals. At the global level, sugar, including non-centrifugal sugars, currently contributes more than 8 percent of total caloric intake, after cereals (52 percent) and oils (10 percent). Given the global population balance, these percentages closely reflect the situation in developing countries where sugar accounts for nearly 8 percent of total caloric intake, after cereals (57 percent) and oils (9 percent). The candy sugar has a good market potential in India.
