Mishri (Rock Sugar or Candy Sugar in English) is an unrefined form of Sugar. It is used for culinary as well as medicinal purposes. Rock Sugar has its origin in India and other counteries, it is made from Crystallized and Flavoured Sugar. Actually, Rock Sugar (also known as Sita or Khanda Sharkara in Sanskrit) is a type of confectionery mineral which is edible and tasty as well. It is basically of two types- Non-Crystalline Candy and Crystalline Candy. Mishri is made from the Solution of Sugarcane (Ganna) and the sap of Palmyra palm tree (Taad ka ped). It is made by pouring the solution of sugarcane into drums where threads are already placed and the Solution is allowed to dry around the Threads. Crystals were grown as a result of cooling supersaturated Sugar Solutions.
