Cukier drobny do wypieków
Description
Fine baking sugar is a white, finely granulated sugar with a neutral, sweet taste and a compact, slightly pearlescent appearance; due to its small crystals, it dissolves quickly, giving mixtures a smooth texture and subtle shine. It is primarily a simple source of energy in the form of sucrose, providing no vitamins or fiber, which is why it has the character of "empty" calories — consumed in moderation, it can support quick energy replenishment, but in excess, it contributes to weight gain and fluctuations in glucose levels. In the kitchen, it is effective for whipping egg whites, preparing creams, cakes, cookies, shortcrust and sponge cakes, as well as sugar glazes and caramel, where its fine structure improves consistency. It should be stored in a sealed, dry, and cool place, away from moisture and strong odors, preferably in an airtight container to avoid clumping and pest access.
