In culinary and household terms, sugar is called sucrose – an ordinary food sweetener that is obtained by processing sugar cane or sugar beet.
The white color of sugar is achieved during refining, but at the same time its individual crystals remain colorless. Many varieties of sugar contain different amounts of vegetable juice – molasses, which gives the crystals different shades of white color.
Sugar is an indispensable ingredient in many drinks, dishes, confectionery and bakery products. It is a familiar additive to coffee, cocoa and tea; confectionery creams, ice cream, icing and sweets cannot do without it. As a good preservative, white sugar is used in cooking jam, making jelly and other products from fruits and berries. Today, white sugar can be found almost everywhere, even where it is not expected to be found. For example, it may end up in low-fat diet yogurt or sausages, as well as in the manufacture of canned meat.
White sugar on sale is in the form of granulated sugar and refined sugar in pieces. Granulated sugar is packed in bags of different capacity, usually from one to fifty kilograms. Dense polyethylene bags are used, inside of which a film is additionally stretched to protect the contents from moisture and the spillage of crystals. Refined products are packed in cardboard boxes. The high hygroscopicity of white sugar causes certain requirements for its storage. The room where the product is located must be dry, protected from temperature fluctuations. Storing it at high humidity will lead to the formation of lumps. Sugar has the ability to absorb foreign odors, so you should not keep it near products with strong flavors.
White sugar is very high in calories – almost 400 kcal per one hundred grams of the product, and its composition consists entirely of carbohydrates. Therefore, when dieting, it is recommended to limit the use of this product in its pure form (for sweetening coffee or tea) and in the form of various sugar-containing drinks, cakes, cookies, etc.
Bubuti (Bobotie) – South African spicy minced meat baked with egg-milk mixture. Bubuti is an amazing dish. In fact, it is just minced meat with spices, but you will see how many of them and how cunningly they are intertwined. As a side dish, prepare, as well as African, sweet yellow rice.
These rolls are a cross between baked cheesecakes and cottage cheese bagels. Delicious on the day of baking, especially while warm. Perfectly combined with any berry, cream sauce or just sour cream. And they are good in themselves!
Gelatin-based desserts are incredibly delicious and beautiful. I suggest to prepare wonderful jelly sweets from two types of chocolate. This dessert is suitable for an ordinary tea party with a family, and will also look good on the holiday table, will not remain indifferent, and will appeal to both children and adults.
I’ve been making this sandwich for a long time, probably since the ‘ 90s. You can consider it a snack and cut it into slices on the holiday table, taking it out of the refrigerator immediately. I like it for Breakfast. Everything is there: an egg; butter; a bar. With fresh brewed sweet tea-just fabulous.
I offer a delicious, fragrant and velvety soup with vegetables. A variation of the Turkish dish “Kazarma”, only with a slightly different cooking technique. Fried-because all the ingredients are pre-fried, and then cooked together for a short time.
It is so delicious that you should definitely cook and try it. A moist, rich chocolate cake, lots of bright, juicy cherries with a slight sourness, a layer of sweet, creamy ganache on white chocolate and all this is covered with chocolate icing!!! To say that it is delicious is not to say anything!!! We really liked this cupcake! I hope you will like it too!
This chocolate cake is prepared very quickly. It can also be used as cake biscuits. Despite the fact that there is no oil in the composition, it turns out not dry at all.
Delicious and flavorful chicken with juicy vegetables, cooked quickly. Recipe from the Chinese woman Apang, for which she is very grateful. The taste of the dish is no different from those served in Chinese restaurants.
