We all know the obvious function of sugar is to make things sweet.

But it serves many other functions like structure, texture, and colour when used in baking in particular.

Because of the way sugar caramelizes when heated, sugar promotes the browning of baked goods. This helps with colour.

Sugar also holds onto moisture. This serves to help reduce gluten development keeping baked goods tender for a longer period of time.

It also helps leaven and acts as a stabilizer with other ingredients. And finally, it helps decorate and garnish.

Whether you’re baking, cooking or need it for drinks, we have a sugar to suit.
