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.
Such a delicious, rich, creamy and fragrant pie that the hand itself reaches for the next piece)) The crust is delicious, sugary, the crumb is moist. A festive homemade, cozy tea party with this cupcake is guaranteed))
I want to share with you a recipe for a delicious and hearty salad. I don’t pretend to be original. Everything is banal and simple, from the available ingredients.
Fragrant, warm cocoa with a cap of melting marshmallows is a simple and delicious drink that, combined with cookies, will cheer you up on a cold winter evening.
The legendary American cookie was invented by Ruth Wakefield in 1930. By mistake, in a hurry or because of the lack of the right ingredients, she put crushed chocolate in the dough… so the famous chocolate cookies were born. Cookies are prepared incredibly simply and quickly, and the perfect match for it will be hot cocoa with melting marshmallows.
This cake will decorate the Christmas table. Neither children nor adults can refuse it. Just imagine the magical aroma of this pastry, which combines notes of orange and hazelnut…
For me, the New Year smells like a Christmas tree, citrus fruits and chocolate. In this recipe, the bright orange taste is wonderfully combined with chocolate droplets, and the cupcakes themselves are soft and pleasant.
Yes, you need to put your hands on it a little, but believe me, it’s worth it! You can cook in 2 stages – oranges for 1 day, and cream and everything else for the second! And yet, there are a lot of bonuses in this recipe! I invite you to Sunny Greece!
The season of picnics and country gatherings is over, but no one will forbid us to create a barbecue atmosphere at home. The aroma of baked wings from the oven will surely spread to all households! Bonus to them – two sauces. The ratio of mayonnaise / sour cream is relative, you can change it in any direction or even exclude mayonnaise. I recommend cooking sauces just before serving, and not for the future.
The perfect side dish or an independent dish will appeal to everyone at the feast. The most painstaking thing is to cut and distribute evenly. Bake until cooked. Wings and two sauces will be served as a bonus to the potatoes.
