About White sugar

White sugar, also known as granulated sugar, is a refined sweetener primarily made from sugarcane or sugar beets. It undergoes extensive processing to remove molasses, resulting in its bright white color and fine texture. Common in global cuisines, white sugar is widely used in baking, beverages, and desserts due to its sweetness and ability to enhance flavors. Nutritionally, it is composed almost entirely of sucrose, providing quick energy but lacking vitamins, minerals, and fiber. While it offers a fast source of calories, excessive consumption is linked to health concerns, including tooth decay, weight gain, and blood sugar fluctuations. Often considered "empty calories," white sugar should be consumed mindfully as part of a balanced diet. It remains a staple in many culinary traditions, adding texture, flavor, and sweetness to countless recipes.
