Confectioners sugar, also known as powdered sugar or icing sugar, is a finely ground sugar often blended with a small amount of cornstarch to prevent clumping. Typically made from granulated sugar, it is processed into an ultra-fine texture ideal for dusting desserts, creating smooth icings, or thickening frostings. With origins rooted in European confectionery traditions, it is widely used in baking and sweet preparations across various cuisines worldwide. While confectioners sugar provides quick energy from carbohydrates, it is devoid of significant nutrients like fiber, vitamins, or minerals. Its high glycemic index and lack of beneficial nutrients make it a treat best enjoyed in moderation, particularly for individuals managing blood sugar levels. Commonly used in small quantities, it adds sweetness without overpowering the flavor of baked goods or desserts, making it a versatile ingredient in the culinary world.
