This traditional practice keeps the original nutrition of sugarcane, and at the same time makes brown sugar have a special flavor similar to caramel.

Yellow sugar is boiled by indigenous methods. First, the unloaded sugarcane is squeezed by a juicer. The juice from the juicer will flow into a lined iron pot through a small tube.

After the syrup with extremely high sugar concentration is solidified, it is poured into a prepared plastic bed for condensation and block molding.
