Suiker, Dutch for "sugar," is a sweetener primarily derived from sugarcane or sugar beets. It is widely used in various cuisines, from Dutch desserts like stroopwafels to global favorites such as baked goods, candies, and beverages. Suiker consists mainly of sucrose, a carbohydrate that provides energy but lacks vitamins, minerals, or other essential nutrients. While it can offer a quick energy boost, excessive consumption is linked to health concerns like weight gain, tooth decay, and increased risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. In moderation, suiker can enhance flavor in dishes and serve functional roles like preserving food or aiding fermentation processes. Alternative sugars or natural sweeteners may be considered for a healthier approach while still enjoying its sweetness.
