About Powdered sugar

Powdered sugar, also known as confectioners' sugar or icing sugar, is finely ground sugar mixed with a small percentage of anti-caking agents like cornstarch to prevent clumping. Its roots trace back to European confectionery practices, where it became a staple in desserts, icings, and baked goods. Popular in Western cuisine, powdered sugar is valued for its smooth texture and ability to dissolve easily. While it adds sweetness and enhances presentation with its delicate dusting, it is primarily composed of refined sugar, which lacks significant nutrients. High in calories and devoid of fiber, vitamins, or minerals, its overconsumption can contribute to weight gain and blood sugar spikes. Moderation is key, especially for those managing sugar intake or seeking healthier substitutes. Despite this, powdered sugar remains an essential ingredient for creating visually appealing and delicious treats across diverse culinary traditions.
