Snowflake Rock Sugar (Bing Tang) — White Star-Shaped Crystal Candy, Bulk 500g

Snowflake Rock Sugar (冰糖, Bīng Táng) is a crystalline sweetener made from purified cane or beet sugar, traditionally crafted in Anhui, China, and prized in Chinese food culture as a clear, gentle sweetener for teas, decoctions, and nourishing soups. Unlike refined white sugar, rock sugar is slowly crystallized into large, translucent, star-shaped flakes known as snowflake sugar (雪花糖), giving it a milder sweetness and a cleaner finish. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) food therapy, rock sugar is considered sweet in flavor and neutral in nature, traditionally used to harmonize herbal decoctions, moisten dryness, and round out the taste of tonic soups and teas.
