About Sugars, granulated
Granulated white sugar is refined sucrose, crystallized from sugar cane or beet into the fine white crystals that sweeten everything from tea to cakes. It's the benchmark sweetener and one of the most-used ingredients in the kitchen.
Nutritionally it's the definition of 'empty calories': essentially pure carbohydrate, with no protein, fat, fiber, vitamins or minerals at all. It provides energy and nothing else, and because it's so easy to add to food and drink, it's the focus of most advice to cut back on added sugar.
Sugar isn't poison, but it is pure energy with no nutrition, and most of us get more than we need from processed foods and drinks. Using less — at the table and in baking — is one of the simplest dietary improvements there is.
