Icing Sugar

Icing Sugar is a very finely ground white sugar used widely in baking and confectionery for icings, dusting pastries, and making smooth frostings. It is essentially pure simple carbohydrate, providing about 97.8g of sugar per 100g and only trace amounts of vitamins or minerals. Because it delivers almost no fiber, protein, or healthy fats and is used in small amounts for sweetness, it’s best treated as an occasional ingredient rather than a source of nutrition; lower-calorie or less-refined powdered sweeteners can be used as swaps when you want to reduce added sugars.
