White sugar, also known as granulated sugar, is a refined sweetener made from sugarcane or sugar beets. It is widely used in cooking, baking, and beverages for its pure sweetness and ability to dissolve easily. White sugar is a source of quick energy as it consists almost entirely of sucrose, a simple carbohydrate. Available in various forms, such as fine, superfine, and caster sugar, it is a versatile ingredient essential for cakes, cookies, syrups, sauces, and desserts. While it adds flavor and structure to recipes, white sugar should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
