What are the different sugars
You must remember that each sugar will have its own aromatic power.
Granulated sugar, recognizable by its large transparent crystals, undergoes a refining process that removes around 90% of its natural vitamins and minerals.
- Refined sugar, also called white sugar, is the most common. During its refining process, chemical additives such as sulfur are used to give it its white color. However, this process results in the loss of certain vitamins and minerals.
- Brown sugar, on the other hand, is the least processed form of cane sugar, obtained after cooking sugar cane juice. Unrefined, brown sugar retains its darker color and robust flavor, reminiscent of sugar cane. Unlike refined sugar, it preserves minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium, as well as vitamins.
- Demerara sugar, lightly refined without the addition of chemical additives, is distinguished by its light brown grains. Its nutritional value is high, similar to that of brown sugar. Opting for the organic version of this sugar is the ideal choice, as it retains all the nutrients without the addition of pesticides.
- Coconut sugar, for its part, is a substitute for cane sugar obtained from the sap of coconut flowers, without undergoing refining or alteration. In addition, it does not contain any preservatives. Coconut sugar is rich in potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and is a natural source of vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6. It has a low glycemic index, which means it is digested more slowly.
- Light sugar, also called fit sugar or low-fat sugar, is a mixture of regular refined sugar and artificial sweeteners such as sucralose, sodium cyclamate, and sodium saccharin. Although it is lower in calories than regular sugar due to its low sucrose content, it does not contain nutrients and cannot be considered a healthy food. Light sugar should only be consumed under medical advice, particularly by people with type 1 or 2 diabetes, and only if recommended by a health professional as part of a balanced diet.
