Granulated white sugar is a refined, crystalline sweetener derived from sugarcane or sugar beets. It is characterized by its fine, white crystals that dissolve easily in both hot and cold liquids. With a sweet, neutral flavor, it is the most commonly used sugar in baking, cooking, and sweetening beverages. Its high solubility and versatility make it a staple in recipes ranging from desserts to sauces and marinades. Granulated sugar also plays a role in texture, moisture retention, and color development during cooking and baking.

Granulated brown sugar is a type of sugar that has a soft, moist texture and a rich, molasses-like flavor. It is produced by mixing refined white sugar with molasses, which gives it its characteristic golden to deep brown color. The molasses content in brown sugar can vary, affecting its intensity of flavor. It is commonly used in baking, cooking, and sweetening beverages, adding both sweetness and a hint of caramel-like richness. Granulated brown sugar has a fine, crystalline texture, making it versatile in both dry and wet applications.
