Sugar

Description

Pearl sugar (for sprinkling) is a coarse, shiny white sugar in the form of small, hard granules that give dishes a decorative, pearly appearance and a pleasant, delicate crunch. The taste is purely sweet, without any aromatic additives, and the structure ensures that the sugar does not dissolve immediately during baking, maintaining a subtle visual and textural effect. Typical uses include sprinkling on yeast rolls, cookies, waffles, bundt cakes, and desserts, where it adds a sense of freshness and contrast in textures; it also pairs well with Scandinavian baked goods and as a finishing touch for occasion cakes. Nutritionally, it is practically pure sucrose, providing calories and quick energy, without significant vitamins and minerals, so it is advisable to consume it in moderation; individuals with diabetes or on a low-sugar diet should exercise caution. Store in an airtight, dry, and cool place, away from moisture and strong odors, in its original packaging or a tightly sealed container — with proper storage, it maintains quality for many months.
