Superfine sugar, also known as caster sugar, is a finely granulated sugar often used in baking and beverages for its ability to dissolve quickly. It is composed primarily of sucrose, a simple carbohydrate derived from sugarcane or sugar beets. Popular in European and American cuisines, superfine sugar is a staple for recipes requiring smooth textures, such as meringues, whipped cream, and delicate cakes. While it enhances flavor and structure in sweet dishes, it lacks significant vitamins, minerals, or fiber, making it purely a source of quick energy. Consuming superfine sugar in excess can contribute to weight gain, tooth decay, and blood sugar spikes, so moderation is key. However, when used appropriately in small quantities, it can complement recipes with precision and enhance culinary results. Superfine sugar is largely an indulgent ingredient, best enjoyed sparingly as part of a balanced diet.
