How well do you know your sugar varieties? 🧐
From white sugar to cane sugar to rich brown sugar, here are 7 sugar varieties you need to know, plus our favourite ways to use them.

🧂 Granulated sugar is a highly refined, multi-purpose sugar. It’s also the most common type of sugar used in baking and cooking.
🧂 Caster sugar is superfine granulated white sugar. Because the crystals are so fine, they dissolve much quicker than standard granulated white sugar, which makes it ideal for making meringues, syrups, and cocktails.
🧂 Confectioners sugar also referred to as powdered sugar. It is ideal for making icing and frosting, as well as decorating baked goods.
🧂 Pearl sugar is a variety of white sugar that has a coarse, hard texture and an opaque colour. It is commonly used in Scandinavian baking to decorating pastries, cookies, and buns.
🧂 Sanding sugar is used mainly for decorating. You can find sanding sugar in a rainbow of colours.
🧂 Cane sugar is produced solely from sugarcane and is minimally processed. You can use cane sugar the same way you would using granulated sugar.
🧂 Light brown sugar is refined white sugar with a small amount of molasses added in. It is used in making any baked goods, as well as in savoury dishes.

Different types of sugar have different use so choose your sugar correctly according to its usage 🤔
