Do you love street food? I’m sure you do! What makes the food sweet? Sugar, of course! Do you know anything about sugar? Most sugar comes from sugar cane (甘蔗). This kind of plant is very tall.
How do we make sugar from sugar cane?
First, farmers cut the top of the plant and put part of the plant in the earth. This will grow into more sugar cane.
Next, workers make the sugar cane into big machines. One machine washes the cane. One machine cuts and turns the cane over and over. And one machine gets the sweet juice from the cane.
Then, workers make the juice hot and it becomes thick (浓稠的). The thick juice is called syrup (糖浆). Workers put the syrup into the crystallization tank (结晶罐). It turns to crystals (晶体). We need one more machine to dry the crystals. Now we have sugar.
Sugar can be brown or white. It can also be in different sizes. Then the sugar can go to the sweet factory (工厂). There workers use it to make sweets.
