Rock Candy History

For centuries Rock Candy has been recognized as having marked therapeutic and preservative qualities. In fact, in the West, sugar was used only as a medicine or preservative up to the middle of the 18th century when people "discovered" it made a sweet treat as well. The earliest known date that white sugar was refined was about 200 C.E. so it is probable that the further refining into what was later known as "Sugre Candie" was at about that time.

There are many references to what we now call Rock Candy in literature. There are several references to it in the poems of the Persian poet Jalal-ad-Din Rumi who lived in Turkey in the middle 1200's. One early English reference in 1584 seems to sum up the virtues of Rock Candy where it is quoted "White sugar is not so good for phlegume, as that which is called Sugar Candie." Shakespeare in Henry IV (1596) referred to its therapeutic value as a throat soother for long winded talkers.

Rock Candy memories... One of my favorite memories, of all time, involves rock candy. There was nothing like walking on the brick walkway from our house, in the South, to my grandparents house, through the back screened porch and down the polished wooden hallway to find my Grandmother in the kitchen making rock candy. 

I was always enthralled by the fact that she could make something so wonderful, and I believe she was equally thrilled to share that beautiful clear candy with her granddaughter with the sweet tooth! Those memories still bring warmth, and a feeling of joy and contentment! I was blessed to be able to have that experience more than once in my life. ~ Juanita from Michigan


I remember as a kid in the late 60's early 70's I would go to Walgreen's drug store with my grandmother and my brother. My grandmother would always let us pick out whatever candy we wanted. My brother and I would always pick out the rock candy on a string that they sold there at the store. I'm glad to see that someone still sells it and I think I will start to get it for my grandchildren. ~ Sue from Wisconsin


When I was a kid, my sister and I would each get a quarter and would walk to the drugstore with my uncle. I loved the sweetness and crunch of Rock Candy, my sister lives very far now, and my uncle is gone I've moved to the other side of the county and the area isn't safe to walk through now; but I'll never forget the happy feeling holding my uncle's hand while walking home. ~ Patricia from California
