Sugar
Sugar is the familiar crystalline sweetener used worldwide in baking, beverages and confectionery; varieties include granulated sugar, sugar cubes, pearl sugar and rock sugar. It is almost pure sucrose and contains about 99.8g of sugar per 100g, which explains its intense sweetness and broad culinary use. Nutritionally, Sugar provides virtually no protein, fiber or meaningful vitamins and minerals, so it contributes calories without micronutrient benefits. Because it is an added sugar, it is best used sparingly—swapping in syrups or fruit-based sweeteners can preserve sweetness while offering small amounts of other nutrients or flavor.
