Sugar

SUGAR

Sugar is a sweet crystalline substance obtained from various plants.

Sugar occurs in greatest quantities in sugar cane and sugar beets from which it is separated for commercial use.

GM Trading Companies specializes in trading the two most widely used types of sugar, both in the food industry and for domestic usage: White Sugar and Brown Sugar.

White Sugar

There are many different types of granulated sugar. Some of these are used only by the food industry and professional bakers and are not available in the supermarket. The types of granulated sugars differ in crystal size. Each crystal size provides unique functional characteristics that make the sugar appropriate for a specific food’s special need.

Brown Sugar

Brown sugar retains some of the surface molasses syrup, which imparts a characteristic pleasurable flavor. Dark brown sugar has a deeper color and stronger molasses flavor than light brown sugar. Lighter types are generally used in baking and making butterscotch, condiments and glazes. The rich, full flavor of dark brown sugar makes it good for gingerbread, mincemeat, baked beans, and other full flavored foods.
