White Sugar

White Sugar is the common white granulated sweetener used worldwide in baking, beverages and as a table sweetener; it is refined from sugar cane or sugar beet and prized for its neutral sweet flavor and dissolving properties. Nutritionally it is essentially pure carbohydrate, providing about 99.8g of simple sugars per 100g with negligible protein, fiber and micronutrients. Because it supplies quick energy but almost no vitamins, minerals or fiber, it is best used sparingly as a flavoring rather than a dietary staple.
