Sugar

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 love this delicacy. Some time ago she decided to learn how to cook it. To begin with, a recipe for apple marshmallows on agar was found, but attempts to cook it were unsuccessful, there was clearly a strange ratio of sugar and water. After these attempts, I decided not to give up, I began to read a lot, search for recipes on the Internet. And now, having gathered the information, I decided to get down to business. Since there were no suitable apples or berries, I decided to cook it on fruit jelly/with cherry flavor /, I cut all the ingredients in the recipe in half so that, if anything, it would not be so offensive for spoiled products.

A very simple pie to make, but at the same time outstanding. Interesting taste – sourness from cranberries, sweetness from marshmallows. In summer, it seems to me, a very good option – it is prepared quickly and without problems, plus, it does not contain either cream or sour cream, which do not tolerate heat very well.
