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.
My friend shared the recipe of this salad with me. Salads in our family are rarely seasoned with mayonnaise, but this is an exception to the rule. It turns out incredibly tender and creamy, very light and delicious! I sincerely advise you to cook!
Excellent, simple salad, it is prepared very quickly, cheaply, and most importantly, it turns out very tasty! I am sure that anyone who does not understand the taste of celery in this recipe will like it!
Girls, this is the second time I bake this pie, but my family and I really like it. The pie turns out to be extremely tasty and juicy. Such juiciness is given by broccoli and cottage cheese. I recommend cooking it – you won’t regret it!
Today I want to treat you to a very tasty shortbread pie with meat and vegetables. It is incredibly tender, juicy, with crispy sides and a double bottom. Healthy and perfectly combined ingredients will make you reach for the next piece. I cooked it today for two with the expectation that: we will have dinner, have breakfast tomorrow morning and wrap up a piece of your beloved for work. To sum up: I ate a piece for dinner, and another, and another.. I ate almost the whole huge pie!
Again, everything is very simple and delicious. I had to borrow a piece from my family for a photo, so they liked it. But not because “I haven’t eaten sweeter carrots.” Really delicious. This is a dietary dish, children like it.
A fast, inexpensive, time-consuming drink made from products that are on hand all year round. You can easily adapt to your taste: make it more or less sweet, more or less spicy.
