Description

Fine sugar is a type of sugar with small grains and a smooth texture, ideal for baking and making desserts where quick and uniform dissolution is required. It is obtained from sugar cane or sugar beets, and its refining process guarantees that it contains no impurities or large crystals.

This sugar is very popular in Latin American cuisine, where it is commonly used to sweeten doughs, creams, meringues, and beverages, thanks to its ability to integrate easily into mixtures without leaving a gritty sensation.

Among its properties, its high solubility and purity stand out, providing sweetness without altering the original texture or flavor of the preparations. Furthermore, as a basic ingredient, it contributes to the browning and caramelization in baked desserts.

In different Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas, fine sugar may also be known as fine granulated sugar, fine white sugar, or simply granulated sugar, although the latter term may vary by region.
