About Caster sugar
Caster sugar, also known as superfine sugar, is a finely ground granulated sugar commonly used in baking and desserts due to its ability to dissolve quickly. Originating from European and British culinary traditions, it is a key ingredient in recipes requiring smooth textures, such as meringues, sponge cakes, and syrup-based beverages. Made exclusively from sucrose, caster sugar provides quick energy but lacks essential nutrients, as it's stripped of vitamins, minerals, and fiber during processing. While it adds sweetness and structure to baked goods, its high glycemic index means it can cause rapid spikes and drops in blood sugar levels. For health-conscious cooking, it’s best used sparingly or substituted with natural sweeteners when possible. Cleaning the palate and blending seamlessly into recipes, caster sugar remains a staple in traditional and modern kitchens despite its minimal nutritional value.
