Sugar (for the filling)

Description

Sugar (for filling) is a white, fine-grained ingredient with a sweet, neutral taste that easily dissolves in liquids and gives creams and fruits a pleasant sweetness and shine. Depending on the form, granulated, fine, or powdered sugar is used to achieve the desired consistency of the filling. As a source of calories, sugar provides quickly absorbable carbohydrates that immediately add energy, although it does not contain significant vitamins or minerals; it is advisable to use it in moderation to avoid tooth decay and excessive calorie intake. In the kitchen, sugar perfectly balances the acidity of fruits, enhances flavors, stabilizes jams and creams, and aids in caramelization and preservation of fillings. Store it tightly in a dry, cool place, away from moisture and odors, in an airtight container to prevent clumping and loss of quality.
