Granulated Sugar

Granulated sugar, a staple in the pantry of any home baker, is a refined sweetener derived primarily from sugarcane or sugar beets. Known for its fine, uniform crystals, it effortlessly dissolves, lending a consistent sweetness to baked goods. Beyond just sweetness, granulated sugar plays a crucial role in baking by contributing to the structure and texture of cakes and cookies, caramelizing for color and flavor, and retaining moisture to prolong freshness. Its neutral flavor makes it incredibly versatile, forming the backbone of countless recipes from delicate pastries to hearty breads.
