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.
Salted caramel is just a brilliant thing! It can be a sauce, a filling for a cake or cupcakes, and toffee candies! It all depends on the ratio of 3 ingredients in it (sugar-cream-butter). After trying it just once, it is impossible to forget the taste, I want to eat it again and again!
Oh, I love fast food, but only homemade. I suggest cooking a juicy burger on a fragrant onion bun. I serve this burger with barbecue sauce and crispy French fries.
Ideal for an evening tea party (in our family they even drink tea at night), it’s not a shame to serve guests, and for a holiday. For the top, ordinary melted chocolate is suitable if you do not want to prepare the glaze. The taste of the cake will depend on the quality of cookies and cottage cheese.
Who has already bought a new raspberry from raffaello? And I have such a whole cake! Macaroons, delicate coconut cream, slightly alcoholic impregnation and elastic raspberry confit.

It’s nice to have something delicious and interesting over a cup of tea or coffee! I propose to supplement the tea with bright, moderately sweet beetroot biscotti cookies with pink, crispy crust and walnuts!
With the onset of cold weather, we begin to pamper the family with delicious pastries more often. It’s so wonderful to gather the whole family at the table to drink tea or coffee and discuss how the day went. There are already proven recipes in the arsenal, and there are also those that have become a discovery, but everyone already likes them so much. Here is such a delicate pie. I think tangerines and cranberries are really winter foods, and that’s what I add to my pie. The pleasant sweetness and sourness from the bottom of the pie and the slight bitterness from the top complement each other and perfectly match with the sweet and velvety dough. I want to note that the cake is prepared without much effort and it can be easily prepared for unexpected guests. The pie turns out delicious both hot and cold.
My friends, a wonderful, most beloved holiday is just around the corner-New Year! Pleasant festive bustle, notes with wishes, snowflake windows and a beautiful Christmas tree! Every hostess tries to cover a rich table with various, unusual or traditional dishes! And, of course, no festive evening is complete without a sweet, fragrant dessert! I bring to your attention delicate coconut cupcakes stuffed with cherries and white chocolate. The dessert is so delicious that it disappears in a matter of minutes! It is only necessary to bring it to your lips and it is impossible to break away!
