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.
There are never too many apple pies! Agree? My husband asked me to bake a pie with apples, but set several conditions – a lot of filling and a little dough, creamy taste, a little sourness and be sure to sprinkle on top))). So eat this pie.

And this is very important – do not knead anything – just mixed the ingredients, put them in a mold and put them in the refrigerator overnight, in the morning took out the mold – in the oven – turned on the oven and after 40 minutes bread is on the table!

My family loves homemade burgers, so I often experiment with them. This time I wanted to make a delicious, unusual sandwich that will appeal not only to the male half, but also to the girls. The highlight of this burger is the sauce. It turns out very tasty and is ideal for “noble” cheese and juicy beef. It has a slight sweetness and sourness. This sauce can also be used with a cheese plate and grilled meat.
The burger itself is very tasty. But we are all used to meat patties. How to cook fish fillet cutlets? Have you tried it? Homemade burger with a piece of juicy fish is sure to appeal to both children and adults!
A hearty breakfast for the whole family – pancakes on broth with rice and chicken! Pancakes with stuffing can be cooked in the evening, and in the morning for breakfast only fry. It is also convenient to freeze them for future use.
That’s how you can feed a large family with one piece of chicken!
In the morning, having breakfast with hot pancakes, but right from the frying pan is like having a holiday for the whole day. Agree, if you are on a diet, it is difficult to deny yourself this pleasure, but in this case you should not do it, pancakes are oatmeal.
