What it is
Sugar, typically sucrose, is a common carbohydrate found naturally in many plants. It is primarily extracted from sugar cane or sugar beets through processes of crushing, juicing, filtering, and crystallization.
Why it's used
In glaze mixes, sugar provides sweetness and contributes to the glaze's texture and shine. Beyond glazes, it is widely used in foods and beverages as a sweetener, for preservation, and to enhance flavor and texture.
Health notes
Sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. When consumed in excess, added sugars contribute calories without significant nutrients, which can be a factor in weight gain and dental cavities. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests limiting free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake. JECFA has not set an acceptable daily intake (ADI) for sugar itself.
