Powdered sugar for dusting

Description

Powdered sugar for dusting is very finely ground, snow-white sugar with an intensely sweet, neutral taste and a silky, powdery texture that easily adheres to baked goods and decorations. Its delicate structure dissolves quickly on the tongue, giving desserts a subtle sweetness and an aesthetic finish. Nutritionally, powdered sugar is mainly simple carbohydrates and calories without significant vitamins or minerals; it provides quick energy, but excessive consumption can contribute to weight gain and metabolic issues. In the kitchen, it is used for dusting cakes, cookies, pancakes, and desserts, for decorating creams, for preparing sweet glazes, and as an ingredient in icings and creams. Store in an airtight container in a dry, cool place away from moisture and odors; if clumped, sift before use.
