A few days ago, I posted about sugar, both natural and added, in the American diet. I have been thinking about that post and decided to go a little further with it and give some information on the main different types of sugars we commonly use. Today will feature granulated sugar, the most common sweetener used in America today. All the information below is strictly related to granulated sugar:
- 1 cup = 720 calories
- The chemical makeup is 50% glucose and 50% fructose.
- Processed to the point that is has very few vitamins and minerals remaining.
- Best sweetener to use for good results in sugar cookies, meringues, toppings, and delicate fluffy cakes.
- To use in baking, follow the recipe directions for how much to use.
- Should be used minimally by diabetics.
