Granulated Sugar 1kg, or sucrose, is refined from raw sugar cane and is famous as a sweetener and preservative. Tate & Lyle has been refining sugar at Thames Refinery in London since 1878. As well as sweetness, it adds texture, flavour, and colour in foods prepared at home and commercially.

Granulated sugar, also known as white sugar or table sugar, is one of the most common and widely used types of sugar in households and the food industry. It is a refined sugar that is processed from sugar cane or sugar beet plants. Here are some key characteristics and information about granulated sugar:

  1. Appearance: Granulated sugar is typically sold as small, uniform crystals that are white or slightly off-white in color. These crystals are dry and free-flowing, making them easy to measure and use in various recipes.
  2. Sweetness: Granulated sugar is known for its sweet taste and is commonly used to sweeten a wide variety of foods and beverages. It has a clean, neutral flavor that does not impart a strong taste to recipes.
  3. Solubility: Granulated sugar is highly soluble in water, which means it dissolves readily when mixed with liquid. This makes it ideal for sweetening hot and cold beverages, as well as for use in baking and cooking.
  4. Texture and Consistency: When granulated sugar is added to recipes, it can contribute to the texture and consistency of the final product. In baking, it helps create a tender crumb and contributes to browning.
  5. Preservation: Sugar has preservative properties, which is why it is often used in the production of jams, jellies, and other preserves. It helps inhibit the growth of microorganisms by reducing water activity in the product.
  6. Versatility: Granulated sugar is a versatile ingredient used in a wide range of culinary applications, from sweetening beverages and desserts to adding a touch of sweetness to savory dishes like sauces and marinades.
  7. Storage: Granulated sugar has a long shelf life when stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Proper storage helps prevent moisture absorption and clumping.
  8. Substitutes: In some recipes, you can substitute granulated sugar with other sweeteners like brown sugar, powdered sugar, or alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, although this may affect the flavor and texture of the final product.
  9. Health Considerations: While granulated sugar adds sweetness to foods and beverages, it is a source of empty calories and should be consumed in moderation. Excessive sugar consumption has been associated with various health issues, including obesity and dental problems.
  10. Food Industry Use: Granulated sugar is used extensively in the food industry to sweeten a wide range of products, including baked goods, candies, beverages, and processed foods.

Granulated sugar is a fundamental ingredient in many kitchens and plays a crucial role in the culinary world. It’s important to use it judiciously and be aware of its role in recipes to achieve the desired flavor and texture in your dishes.
