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 want to share with you, chefs, an excellent spicy crispy snack, this peanut is much tastier and healthier than the purchased one. Very tempting nuts in this version! Peanuts contain about 52% oil.

Mmm… How would I describe it, it’s more of a dessert than an appetizer! But if you replace cranberry sauce with cream with herbs, and add garlic to the cheese dough, you will get an amazing snack! Try this dish and you will like it.
Juicy, bright, summer salad with fresh vegetables. Moderately sharp and very interesting. There was a young cabbage, sweet and juicy, so I did not observe the proportions, the cabbage I have here is more than noticeable. It is very tasty, juicy, fragrant, spicy, festive. Barbecue is the best option.
In spring, there comes a time when crispy winter sauerkraut ends or peroxides, and pickles just get bored. The stores are full of tomatoes and cucumbers, but… It seems both fresh and beautiful, but there is no “no”, as if it is plastic. We really like this simple salad in the spring. One portion ends, immediately prepare the next. It is good as a snack and as a side dish. Salad, of course, looks like instant cabbage, but it’s not just cabbage with additives, it’s a salad. Try it and don’t get angry if this salad seems banal to you, it’s very tasty.
Krautsalat is a pickled cabbage of instant cooking. It turned out to be a very tasty, slightly sweet, crispy and juicy salad!!! I will cook more than once! The balance of sweet and sour was chosen for themselves. The salad is not troublesome, it is ideal for meat dishes instead of a side dish.
I love this simple and quick to prepare drink. Reminds me of my distant, happy childhood. A great treat for children and adults. A delicate and delicious dessert drink. It is impossible to tear it off either warm or chilled.
“When life gives you a lemon, don’t complain— make lemonade out of it!” – said the American philosopher and journalist Napoleon Hill. And if, in addition to the lemon, you got a large bunch of sorrel? Is it sour? Nothing like that! Let’s make an unconventional emerald lemonade.
