Sucrés

Sucrés is a French term that translates to "sugary" or "sweet" in English. It is most commonly used in a culinary context to describe foods or beverages that contain a significant amount of sugar or have a sweet taste. This can range from desserts like cakes and pastries to sweet fruits and candies. The term is also used more broadly to describe a pleasant or agreeable quality, though this usage is less frequent.

In specific culinary applications, sucrés can refer to a category of baked goods, such as sucré pastries, which are typically sweet doughs or tarts. These often feature fruit fillings, creams, or glazes. The term is not limited to desserts, however, and can also be applied to savory dishes that incorporate sweet elements, such as glazes or marinades. The perception of sweetness is subjective and can vary based on cultural background and individual preference. When a food is described as sucré, it generally indicates a deliberate addition of sweetening agents or the natural presence of sugars that contribute to its flavor profile. The opposite of sucré in a food context is often considered "salé," meaning savory or salty.
