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.
It would seem that not so long ago the multi-day holidays ended, during which many different salads were prepared, light and hearty, puff and portioned! This salad turns out to be simple and delicious.
I’m here with another salad, as you know, there are not so many salads. I cooked this salad during the New Year holidays, I liked the taste. A pleasant combination of spicy stewed vegetables with salted fish and shrimp.
I offer you an amazing salad of warm potatoes and red fish. As a child, I thought that the best warm salad was boiled potatoes and fragrant sunflower oil.
Winter salad with a spicy, sweet and sour taste and a little bitterness. In my opinion, a great addition to potatoes. But in the original recipe, it is recommended to serve it with pork legs or ribs.
Tartlets with stuffing are an ideal dish for a buffet or a festive table. As a filling, use cheese and garlic paste with the addition of pieces of mussels, crispy cucumbers and fresh dill, serve in sand baskets.
Another recipe for delicious mustard, in addition to apple and apricot. This option is probably more like a sauce than a full-fledged mustard, but it doesn’t get any worse. It goes very well with baked meat or poultry, grilled sausages or sausage sausages, and is also great for regular sandwiches.
This name is a bit of a joke, I have such cupcakes. Everyone is familiar with the situation when on the 3rd-5th day of the New year’s eve there is a bottle of champagne that no one wants to drink. The remains of peeled tangerines, which the children did not finish, are scattered around the apartment. That’s when you can cook these delicious, tender, fragrant cupcakes.
