Polvilohkare

Polvilohkare, also known as "sugar sprinkles" or "sugar pearls," are small, round, and colorful pieces of sugar used as a decorative topping for various desserts and beverages. They are typically made from granulated sugar, corn syrup, and food coloring, which are combined and then extruded through a small hole to form the spherical shape. The process involves heating the sugar mixture to a high temperature, allowing it to solidify into small, hard candies.

Polvilohkare are commonly used in baking to add a visually appealing element to cakes, cookies, and other pastries. They can be sprinkled on top of frosting, used as a filling in cupcakes, or mixed into batter for a textured effect. In addition to their decorative purposes, polvilohkare can also be used as a garnish for beverages such as hot chocolate, coffee, and cocktails, adding a sweet and colorful touch.

The history of polvilohkare is not well-documented, but their use as a decorative element in baking and beverages can be traced back to the early 20th century. Over time, they have become a popular and versatile ingredient in the culinary world, appreciated for their vibrant colors and sweet flavor. Today, polvilohkare are widely available in grocery stores and specialty food shops, often packaged in small jars or bags for easy use in various recipes.
