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.
Simple and unpretentious in the preparation of strudel. I tried it the way it is in Vienna, and I really fell into the soul. I asked for the recipe in the “Residents”, and voila – I cook this strudel every weekend. My family loves this dessert very much. Now I’m sharing this recipe with you.
Traditional German dessert. The easy-to-prepare dough covers an amazing cherry and blueberry filling. Juicy, fragrant roll. Despite the fact that there are a lot of fillings, the roll turns out to be quite strong. When slicing, it does not crumble and does not flow. Tasty.
Cake is a confection popular in Western Ukraine and Poland. As a rule, it is baked in a rectangular shape. I suggest you prepare a dance with apples and cream for pudding. It is gentle, very light and unobtrusively sweet.
