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.
As soon as sugar is not called! For some it is a "white death", for others it is a "sweet death". Well, death is not death, and without sucrose, the human body would not receive the much-needed energy refueling. 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.
What is the benefit of glucose? Firstly, glucose protects the liver from all kinds of toxins.
The question of how to make sugar was first (at least, it is believed) answered by the inhabitants of India, where it began to be produced over two millennia 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 at that time. With the fall of Rome, sugar imports to 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. It was only in 1802 that mass production of sugar from sugar beet was established in our country.
Today, sugar is one of the most popular and most frequently used ingredients for cooking all kinds of dishes (it goes to making cotton candy, in particular). Moreover, we mean not only
sweet dishes
or
desserts
. Sugar is almost always added to
marinades
and even in
meat dishes
and
sauces
. In addition, sugar goes to
making cotton candy
, and on
making syrup
for cakes, desserts, cocktails.
There are also sugar substitutes, among which the most famous are: xylitol, aspartame, sorbitol.
