Powdered sugar for the cream

Description

Powdered sugar for cream is very finely ground, snow-white sugar with a silky texture and a pure, sweet taste without any caramelization aftertaste. It often contains a small addition of starch (e.g., corn starch) to prevent clumping, which facilitates even dissolving in cream mixtures and icings. Nutritionally, it is practically pure carbohydrate — providing calories (about 400 kcal/100 g) with negligible amounts of protein, fat, and micronutrients, so it is advisable to use it sparingly as a quick source of energy, without expecting health benefits. In the kitchen, powdered sugar is indispensable for preparing creams, icings, whipped cream, decorations, and sprinkles, as it dissolves quickly and gives a smooth texture. It should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a dry, cool place away from moisture and strong odors; the original packaging or an airtight jar will prevent clumping and loss of quality.
