Nutritional Benefits:
Sugar, in its various forms, provides a quick source of energy for the body. It is composed mainly of glucose and fructose, which are simple carbohydrates that the body can quickly absorb and convert into energy. While sugar is an essential part of the diet in moderate amounts, excessive consumption can lead to health issues such as weight gain, blood sugar imbalances, and increased risk of chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes.

• Raw Sugar: Less refined, with a mild molasses flavor, typically used as a natural sweetener.
• Powdered Sugar: Also known as icing sugar, finely ground with a small amount of cornstarch, used for icing and frosting.
