White Sugar Edible

Description:
White sugar, also called refined sugar or table sugar, is a pure, crystalline sweetener composed almost entirely of sucrose. It is typically derived from sugarcane or sugar beet plants through refining processes that remove molasses, minerals, and impurities, resulting in a bright white color and neutral sweetness. It has a fine to medium crystal size and dissolves easily in hot or cold liquids, making it one of the most versatile sweeteners in food production.
