Sugar comes in several forms, each with their own unique textures and flavors suiting different cooking needs. For example, turbinado has subtle caramel notes used in drinks and baking. Demerara sugar contains a mild molasses taste as a topping on goods.
Moreover, it serves as a preservative, thickener, and sweetener in foods and drinks. However, excessive added sugars risk harming health. It is important to limit highly refined sugars like table sugar and high fructose corn syrup, in favor of naturally occurring ones from fruits, vegetables and dairy.
White sugar undergoes extensive processing, while brown sugar retains molasses providing hints of depth. Confectioners’ sugar, very finely ground, coats and enhances flavors. Choosing the kind of sugar depends on the intended purpose.
