lihtsuhkru

Lihtsuhkru is an Estonian term that translates to "table sugar" or "granulated sugar" in English. It refers to the common crystalline form of sucrose, a disaccharide produced commercially from sugarcane or sugar beets. This highly purified form of sugar is widely used as a sweetener in food and beverages, as well as in baking and cooking. It is characterized by its white color and fine, granular texture, which allows it to dissolve easily in liquids. The term lihtsuhkru emphasizes its everyday and common use, differentiating it from other types of sweeteners or more specialized sugar products. Its production involves extraction, purification, and crystallization processes to achieve the desired purity and form for culinary applications. Lihtsuhkru is a staple ingredient in households and food industries globally, valued for its sweetness and versatility in enhancing flavor profiles.
