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.

We all know that chocolate is a kind of happiness hormone, right? Thanks to the content of caffeine and other interesting components in chocolate (let’s not get smart about this), the mood improves, there is a surge of strength and vivacity, the overall tone increases! My small innovations in the classic recipe greatly simplify its preparation and reduce the number of necessary ingredients. The structure of the finished dessert becomes very airy and delicate. So, by introducing mayonnaise into the dough, we eliminate the need to add eggs and vegetable oil! In addition, mayonnaise can also be replaced with baking powder!
Are you a big fan of chocolate and pumpkin? Then this cake is for you!!! And even if you don’t like pumpkin pastries, this pie will still conquer you (I know because my husband doesn’t like pumpkin, but he ate almost one of this pie). Brownies differ from classic ones in a denser texture.

There are a lot of recipes for chocolate sausage, but my original one: white fat, which should be a regular sausage, I replaced with candy. My son is always looking forward to this treat, and I try to pamper him, but not often, because the dish is high in calories.
