Dishes with sugar - 7524 cooking recipes

Another name for sugar is sucrose. Sugar is nothing more than a carbohydrate in its pure form, which has particularly valuable nutritional properties that are extremely useful for providing a person with the necessary energy. In other words, sucrose is energy, “fuel” for the body. No matter what they call sugar! For some it is “white death”, for others it is “sweet death”. Well, death is not death, and without sucrose the human body would not receive the much-needed energy supply. Sucrose is very quickly broken down in the body into glucose and fructose. These substances subsequently pass into the blood, and the blood, in turn, nourishes the entire body, including the brain. How is glucose useful? Firstly, glucose protects the liver from all kinds of toxins. The question of how to prepare sugar was the first (at least so believed) to be answered by the inhabitants of India, where it began to be produced over two thousand years ago. In Sanskrit, the word "sugar" means "sweet". The ancient Romans also knew sugar, which was imported into the country from India, a province of Ancient Rome in those days. With the fall of Rome, sugar imports into Europe were interrupted. Even sugar cane, which began to be grown in Southern Spain and on the island of Sicily, did not save the situation. Later in Europe (and in Russia too) sugar was available only to very rich people. Only in 1802, mass production of sugar from sugar beets was established in our country. Today, sugar is one of the most popular and most commonly used ingredients for preparing all kinds of dishes (it is used to make cotton candy, in particular). Moreover, this does not only mean sweet dishes or desserts. Sugar is almost always added to marinades and even to meat dishes and sauces. In addition, sugar is used to make cotton candy and to prepare syrup for cakes, desserts, and cocktails. There are also sugar substitutes, among which the most famous are: xylitol, aspartame, and sorbitol.
