Granulated Sugar

Everyday

Granulated sugar is a refined carbohydrate extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets, consisting almost entirely of sucrose crystals. This universal sweetener undergoes extensive processing to remove molasses and impurities, resulting in uniform white crystals that dissolve easily in liquids. While essential for baking and sweetening beverages, it provides 4 calories per gram without significant vitamins or minerals, requiring mindful consumption in balanced diets.
