Khandsari sugar, also known as "Desi Khand" or "Khand Sugar", is a natural, unrefined, and minimally processed sugar made from sugarcane. It is characterized by its golden-brown color and retains essential nutrients and minerals due to its minimal processing. Khandsari is produced using traditional methods, often involving open-pan evaporation, which preserves its natural molasses and a rich, caramel-like flavor. 

Here's a more detailed description:

Production:

·         Khandsari is made from sugarcane juice that is boiled down to create a thick syrup, which is then allowed to crystallize. 

·         It undergoes minimal processing, unlike refined white sugar, which is bleached and treated with chemicals. 

·         The traditional production methods often involve manual labor and natural purification techniques, ensuring that nutrients are retained. 

·         It is free from harmful chemicals, sulphur, and artificial bleaching agents used in conventional sugar processing. 

Appearance and Taste:

·         Khandsari sugar has a golden-brown color due to the presence of natural molasses.

·         The flavor is less intense than jaggery or dark brown sugar. 

Nutritional Value:

·         Khandsari sugar retains essential nutrients and minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, which are often lost during the refining process of white sugar.
