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.
I took the basis of the recipe for this wonderful dessert at the next master class at the Culinary Academy of Hector Jimenez Bravo. I have not yet acquired a form for boucher, because I molded it in the form of a cake (bread), but it did not affect the taste in any way… And, of course, this dish is quite worthy of the royal table, believe me? Come and treat me!!!
I don’t know about you, but I secretly love mayonnaise))) I don’t always want to fill salads with olive oil! I tried this sauce for the first time in 2012, and I liked it! I share the recipe with you! Plus there is a recipe with mussels seasoned with apple mayonnaise.
The delicate texture and light, tart, citrus notes of this wonderful sauce will not leave you indifferent. Perfectly combined with pancakes, ice cream, cupcakes, etc.
The perfect sauce for barbecue or grilled meat. An unsurpassed combination of sweet and tomato flavor that will enrich the taste of freshly cooked meat.
This popular salad dressing in the UK is a bit like mayonnaise, but has a more pronounced sweet-sour and creamy taste. Garnish any green salad and serve as a good cold sauce with boiled eggs or sandwiches.
It has an airy structure and a delicate, slightly sour taste. It is perfect for fish and meat dishes, and is also very good with vegetables. It must be served preheated!
Summer is berry time! Berries delight us with a variety of flavors. In summer, you can enjoy fresh berries and cook a variety of dishes. Galette is one of my favorite pies. The thinnest crispy dough, berry-fruit filling… Cookies with red currants really pleased us with their taste.
