Buying sugar in the supermarket, looking for a product with a yellowish tint, because it is sweeter and healthier. Bashny.Net

Over time, the quality of many products in the store gradually changes. This is often heard from the older generation. And they'll be right. After all, even the usual white sugar is not as good and high-quality as it was decades ago. Therefore, at the moment, the choice of sugar is as relevant as the choice of all other products. So what should you pay attention to when buying? Which pack should be preferred?



First of all, you should know that white sugar at the production stage is divided into 4 categories: Extra, TC1, TC2 and TC3.

TC decipher marketable. The following number is as a product category. And the higher the figure, the worse the quality of the product. For example, TC3 sugar can be distinguished due to its yellowish hue and weak odor of molasses (feed molasses, usually used for animal feed).



Peels Extra sugar has no unnecessary odors and is available exclusively in white.

Some consumers notice a slight difference in the taste of sugar. This is due to the fact that, depending on the vehicle, the proportion of sucrose in the product is different. Thus, TC3 sugar contains only 99.5% sucrose. While in TC1 and TC2 - 99.7%. The highest rate in the extra variety. It has 99.8% sucrose. Everything else is impurities and the same molasses.



Peels Sugar powder It is not the best alternative to sugar. It is made from the same components. However, according to GOST, various impurities are allowed to maintain crumbness. It is much easier and healthier to grind ordinary white sugar in a coffee grinder or wrap a certain amount of sugar in a dense cloth and grind with one of the kitchen appliances.



As many people already know, cane sugar is much more useful than purified white. Unlike the one mentioned above, it is unrefined. That is, it has not been purified and processed, which allows crystals to preserve useful substances.

In taste, these types of sugar are almost no different. However, the difference is expressed in color, in the availability of useful elements and in price. Cane sugar is really much more expensive. However, it is necessary to be vigilant during the purchase. Since very often on the shelves you can see not only cane sugar, but also just brown.



As a rule, it is signed – “brown refined”. And this is a regular white tinted sugar with a flavored additive. Don't be fooled.

Thus, the best choice among the varieties of white refined sugar remains extra. Always pay attention to the labels on the package, so as not to make a mistake. Since all the other white sugar is not so sweet, it also allows more impurities.



But if you want to make a good expensive purchase, cane sugar is a great choice as a coffee sweetener. It's also very useful.

Editorial advice Commercial grade, of course, matters. But when it comes to cooking complex dishes, the choice of sugar does not play such an important role. Either way, the sugar remains sweet. This is what is required in the kitchen during cooking. What sugar do you prefer?
