Sugar
Sugar is a natural carbohydrate and a primary source of energy, commonly used as a sweetener in foods and beverages. It occurs naturally in various plants, most notably sugarcane and sugar beets, which are cultivated and processed to produce granulated sugar. Chemically known as sucrose, sugar is composed of glucose and fructose, which are essential simple sugars metabolized by the body. Beyond its culinary uses, sugar plays a key role in food preservation, fermentation, and texture enhancement. While it adds flavor and functionality, excessive sugar consumption is associated with health concerns like obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay, prompting a global shift toward moderated intake and alternative sweeteners.
