COSMOVEDA Ayurveda sugar is produced from rock sugar by grinding the sugar crystals into a fine powder. It serves as a means of transport (Vahana) when consuming Ayurvedic preparations. Even in the ancient Vedic scriptures the importance of rock sugar is highly praised, as many herbs and Ayurvedic herbal teas develop their full flavour. According to Ayurveda it is enjoyed in small quantities and especially valuable for human physiology.
