Sugar is a sweet, crystalline substance derived mainly from sugarcane and sugar beets. It is used as a common sweetener in food and beverages and comes in various forms, including white sugar, brown sugar, and powdered sugar. Chemically, sugar refers to simple carbohydrates, primarily sucrose, glucose, and fructose. It provides a quick source of energy but excessive consumption can lead to health issues such as obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay. Sugar is widely used in baking, cooking, and food processing to enhance flavor, texture, and preservation.
