Staples

Description

White sugar, also known as granulated sugar, is a staple ingredient in kitchens around the world. Made by refining raw sugar from sugar cane or sugar beets, it has a pure, sweet flavor and a fine, crystalline texture. White sugar is incredibly versatile and is used to sweeten beverages, baked goods, sauces, and desserts. It not only adds sweetness but also plays a crucial role in the structure and texture of recipes by promoting browning, tenderizing doughs, and helping to preserve jams and jellies. Its neutral flavor makes it ideal for a wide variety of both sweet and savory dishes, making it a must-have ingredient for any home cook or baker.

Availability

White sugar, a staple ingredient in many recipes, is typically found in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. Look for it packaged in paper bags or plastic containers, often displayed alongside other sweeteners like brown sugar, powdered sugar, and baking essentials such as flour, baking soda, and chocolate chips. The baking aisle is usually centrally located and clearly marked with overhead signs. In some supermarkets, smaller packages of white sugar can also be found in the section with coffee and tea supplies, as single-serve packets or small canisters. If you need assistance, store employees are usually happy to help direct you to the correct aisle.
