Confectioners powdered sugar, also known as icing sugar, is a finely ground sugar mixed with a small amount of anti-caking agent, typically cornstarch, to prevent clumping. Originating from traditional baking practices, this ingredient is commonly associated with desserts and sweet toppings in Western cuisine, though its use spans globally in baked goods, frostings, glazes, and dusting finishes. Powdered sugar contains pure sucrose and offers quick-dissolving properties ideal for smooth textures. While it provides sweetness and aesthetic appeal, powdered sugar is high in simple carbohydrates without nutritional benefits, making it a calorie-dense ingredient. Its lack of fiber, vitamins, or minerals means moderation is key, particularly for individuals managing blood sugar levels. While it enhances flavor and presentation, it's not considered a healthful ingredient, but rather an occasional indulgence suited for enhancing culinary creations and treats.
