About Granulated sugar

Granulated sugar, a widely used sweetener, is composed of sucrose derived primarily from sugarcane or sugar beet plants. It is refined to achieve its fine crystalline texture and neutral flavor, making it a versatile ingredient in global cuisines. Found in baked goods, beverages, sauces, and desserts, it plays a vital role in enhancing flavor, texture, and preservation. Nutritionally, granulated sugar is a source of simple carbohydrates, providing quick energy; however, it lacks essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Overconsumption can contribute to health concerns such as weight gain, tooth decay, and increased risk of chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease. Moderation is key to enjoying granulated sugar as part of a balanced diet, and it’s often replaced by natural or alternative sweeteners in health-conscious recipes.
