Caster Sugar
Caster Sugar is the common white granulated sweetener used worldwide in baking, beverages and cooking; it’s often sold as caster or superfine sugar for quicker dissolution. Nutritionally it is essentially pure carbohydrate, providing 100g of sugar per 100g and virtually no protein, fiber or micronutrients. Because it supplies quickly available energy but little else, it’s best used sparingly or replaced with less-refined or bulkier sweeteners when you want some added nutrients or more satiety.
