This ingredient is found in most homes and you surely have it at home: sugar.
But, if you take care of your health, or want to start paying more attention to it, it is better to learn what is the best kind of sugar to have at home. Right?
Today, we have endless options of sugar on the market shelves: granulated, caster, brown, organic, and a lot more.
And that's where this question comes: which one is the best for our health?
Sugar can vary according to its origin and processing. Most sugars are made from sugarcane, but today there is also coconut sugar.
Brown sugar has a darker color because it is less processed than the other types, that are whiter.
Learn about 6 types of sugar and their characteristics:
Caster sugar
The most well known of all sugars.
Granulated sugar
Just like caster sugar, the granulated type also undergoes a process where chemicals are added to make it white and tasty, but that results in a loss of vitamins and minerals.
Brown sugar
This sugar is extracted after cooking sugarcane juice.
Demerara sugar
Similar to brown sugar, it undergoes a light process of purification and refinement, without any chemical additives.
Organic sugar
It doesn't have any artificial ingredients in its composition.
Coconut sugar
It can be a substitute for the cane sugar, extracted from the fluid of coconut palm flowers, and doesn't go through any refining or adulteration processes.
It is important to remember that, since sugar is a simple carbohydrate it must be avoided and consumed only in small amounts, preferably keeping it away from your daily eating habits.
The excessive consumption of sugar may cause issues, such as weight gain, diabetes, and inflammation in the body.

Let me clarify more on Jaggery and thus adding a bit more here. Table sugar is 99.9% sucrose while Jaggery is about 95% sucrose. The other 5% being molasses. So what damage sugar does with 100% efficiency, jaggery does it with 95%. Basically the amount of sweets we consume has exploded in the last 30-40 years. We need to revert back to as close as possible to zero sugar/jaggery for a healthy life. sugar uses more chemicals in processing than Jaggery, however the list of problems mentioned with sugar is not because of those chemicals but because of sugar /Jaggery (sucrose) itself. So use or not of chemicals does not make much of a difference. About our body requiring glucose/energy. Yes we do need it and our digestive system is well endowed to extract it from the most stubborn of the carbohydrates. Our body can extract glucose from even fibres in food. We don't need any processed sugar. Now as sucrose is the primary content of both sugar and jaggery, let me explain it a more in detail. Sucrose is a complex sugar made of 50% glucose and 50% fructose. Glucose is absorbed by the blood and used as energy in the cells. Fructose is converted by the liver into fat and deposited in places you don't want it to be deposited in. More on Glucose - Glucose has a dangerous property called 'glycation' . Which is the root cause of most of the issues highlighted earlier. Glucose attaches itself to proteins and fats in our body and glycates them . Once it attaches to our proteins this is irreversible. The proteins cannot do their job. Now higher your blood glucose more is the amount of glycated proteins. That is why people with diabetes have so many complications. The glucose interferes in most of their protein functions. Our DNA is also a protein, and glucose can even damage it triggering cancers. The damaged collagen in our arteries results in High BP Everybody organ you can think of is made of protein and glucose interferes with each one of these. More on fructose - When fructose is converted into fat in the liver one of the byproducts is cholesterol. Higher the sugar consumption, more is the cholesterol your liver will make. So all the fruit juice and honey you consume ends up as fat in your belly and other corners of your body... Some gets deposited on the liver itself. Good news is whole fruits are an exception.... One glass of orange juice, requires about 4 oranges. However you eat 4 whole oranges, your lunch is done. So basically the fibres in the oranges become your meal... These fibres also hold back a lot of fructose and does not let body absorb all of it. So you get only the required amount of sugars when you eat a whole fruit as opposed to a juice. Plus all the nutrition the fibres in a fruit give. When you juice, all of that precious fibre is thrown. Same is the case with sugarcane. Chew the whole sugarcane, not the juice. So the bottom line - Both Sugar and Jaggery are as bad for health as it can be.

Brown sugar goes through just as much processing as white sugar, the only difference is that after it is done being processed they add molasses back into it, that’s what gives it the dark colour. Not less processing…..

In India especially in south India some other sugar also people use, one extracted from sugar cane (jaggery) and other is from palm tree (palm jaggery) In Tamil language we call that as வெல்லம் - vellam பனை வெல்லம் - panai vellam கருப்பட்டி - karuppatti பனங்கற்கண்டு - panankarkandu

In baking can you substitute coconut sugar for regular white cane sugar. Meaning will it produce the same results as regular sugar. I’ve started to learn to bake. I really enjoy it. But I tried substituting it with stevia and results were not the same . I would prefer to use a calorie free sugar if you could share with me a (a substitute calorie free sugar) sugar that bakes like regular white sugar. Thank you 🌻

Use bananas instead. I find that to be the best substitute. You cannot use the same récites though,but bananas mix well with other types of flour which would be the best way to avoid sugar for white flour transforms into sugar in the body and it will be stored as fat just the same. Plus you have all the disadvantages of wheat and gluten.

Hello Tr3 M.C.! We recommend coconut sugar. It's very similar to regular table sugar, although it's not as processed and contains minor amounts of nutrients. If you're going to use coconut sugar, use it sparingly. The excessive consumption of sugar may cause issues, such as weight gain, diabetes, and inflammation in the body. Thanks for watching!
