Another name for sugar is sucrose. Sugar is nothing more than a carbohydrate in its pure form, with especially valuable nutritional properties that are extremely useful for giving a person the energy they need. In other words, sucrose is energy — the "fuel" for the body.
What people don't call sugar! For some it is "white death," for others "sweet death." Well, death or not, without sucrose the human body would not get its much-needed energy boost. Sucrose is broken down very quickly in the body into glucose and fructose. These substances then pass into the blood, and the blood, in turn, nourishes the whole body, including the brain.
What is glucose good for? First of all, glucose protects the liver from all sorts of toxins.
The question of how to make sugar was first answered (at least, so it is believed) by the people of India, where it began to be produced more than two thousand years ago. In Sanskrit the word "sugar" means "sweet." The ancient Romans knew sugar too; it was imported into the country from India, a province of Ancient Rome at the time. With the fall of Rome, sugar imports to Europe were cut off. Even sugar cane, which started to be grown in southern Spain and on the island of Sicily, did not save the situation.
Later on in Europe (and in Russia too) sugar was available only to very wealthy people. It was not until 1802 that mass production of sugar from sugar beet was set up in our country.
Today sugar is one of the most popular and most frequently used ingredients for cooking all kinds of dishes (it goes into making cotton candy, in particular). And we don't mean only
sweet dishes
or
desserts
. Sugar is almost always added to
marinades
and even to
meat dishes
and
sauces
. On top of that, sugar goes into
making cotton candy
, and into
making syrup
for cakes, desserts and cocktails.
There are also sugar substitutes, the best known of which are xylitol, aspartame and sorbitol.
