SUGARS

Listing description Maple sugar   is a traditional sweetener in Canada and the northeastern United States, prepared from the sap of the maple tree. Detailed description Sources Three species of maple trees are predominantly used to produce maple sugar: the   sugar maple ( Acer saccharum ) , the   black maple ( A. nigrum ) , and the   red maple ( A. rubrum ) , [1]   because of the high sugar content (roughly two to five percent) in the sap of these species. [2]   The black maple is included as a   subspecies   or   variety   in a more broadly viewed concept of   A. saccharum , the sugar maple, by some botanists. [3]   Of these, the red maple has a shorter season because it buds earlier than sugar and black maples, which alters the flavour of the sap. [4] A few other (but not all) species of   maple ( Acer )   are also sometimes used as sources of sap for producing maple sugar, including the   box e...

Listing description Date sugar  is a type of  sugar  found most commonly in  natural food stores  since it is less processed than more conventional sugars. It is made from  dried dates  and adds a rich sweetness to recipes, although it will not dissolve when added to drinks.

Listing description Corn sugar is a natural sweetener that is made utilizing starch that is extracted from kernels of corn. The extracted cornstarch is then refined to create a solid sugar or to make another popular sweetening agent known as   corn syrup . Both corn syrup and sugar are routinely used in many culinary recipes as well as in the creation of a number of mass produced food products. Detailed description The process for making corn sugar begins with the removal of starchy elements from the corn. The extracted elements are actually   glucose , although the refining process will transform them into another form of sugar known as dextrose. With the production of syrup, the corn sugar becomes a high   fructose   corn syrup that is ideal for use in many commercial foods as both a flavor enhancer and as an ingredient that influences the final texture of the prepared food. There are different types of sugar available today, each of them varying in textu...

Listing description Coconut sugar  (also known as  coco sugar ,  coconut palm sugar ,  coco sap sugar  or  coconut blossom sugar ) is a  sugar  produced from the sap of cut flower buds of the  coconut palm . Detailed description  Coconut sugar has been used as a traditional sweetener for thousands of years in the South and South-East Asian regions where the coconut palm is in abundant supply. The world's largest producers of coconuts are the  Philippines  and  Indonesia . In some areas, predominantly in  Thailand , the terms "coconut sugar" and " palm sugar " are often used interchangeably [ citation needed ] . However, coconut sugar is different both in taste, texture and manufacture methods from palm sugar, which is made from the sap in the stems of the  Palmyra palm , the  date palm , the  sugar date palm , the  sago palm  or the  sugar palm . Taste and flavor Coconut s...

Listing description Caster   sugar , sometimes also sold as “ castor ” or “superfine”   sugar , is a type of   sugar   granule that has been ground very small so as to dissolve easily in beverages and baking. Detailed description Because it dissolves more quickly than standard granulated sugar, it is used mainly in applications where this is desirable. It is most useful in making meringue, sweetening cut fruit and the like, where no heat is applied, and therefore the larger granules of standard granulated sugar may be undesirable. In most cases granulated sugar may be substituted, and occasionally powdered sugar is also a suitable substitute.
