Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here sugar, the kind they call “imperial extra-fine pure cane granulated sugar.” Comes in a big ol’ four-pound bag, enough to sweeten a whole lotta pies and such.
What’s in it?
Now, I ain’t no scientist or nothin’, but from what I gather, it’s just sugar. Yep, pure cane sugar, nothin’ else added. They say it’s “non-GMO,” which I reckon means they didn’t mess with it too much. It’s the kind of sugar your grandma used, good and sweet.
- It’s made from sugar cane, you know, that tall grass stuff they grow down south.
- They grind it up real fine, so it mixes easy into your tea or coffee.
- No funny business, no weird chemicals or nothin’ like that. Just plain ol’ sugar.
Why folks like it?
Well, for starters, it’s sweet! That’s what sugar’s supposed to be, right? But this here “extra fine” stuff, it dissolves quicker than the regular kind. You don’t end up with that gritty stuff at the bottom of your glass. And folks say it makes for smoother icings and such, on account of it being so fine.
I use it for all sorts of things. Makin’ jam, bakin’ cakes, sweetenin’ lemonade. Even sprinkle a little on my oatmeal sometimes, if I’m feelin’ fancy. It’s just good sugar, plain and simple.
Other stuff they make
Now, this here company, they don’t just make this one kind of sugar. They got all sorts. Brown sugar, both light and dark. Powdered sugar for makin’ frostin’. Little sugar cubes for folks who like to be fancy. Even got those little shakers you see at restaurants. But this four-pound bag of the plain white stuff, that’s what I use most. It lasts a good long while, even with all the bakin’ I do.
Things folks worry about
Some folks worry about what’s in their food these days, and I don’t blame ’em. But this sugar, it seems alright. They say it don’t have none of them “allergens” in it, like milk or eggs or nuts. And they say it’s “kosher” and “halal,” which I reckon means it’s okay for folks with different beliefs. It’s just sugar from cane, nothin’ more, nothin’ less.
And if you’re worried about gluten, they say it ain’t got none of that neither. No wheat or barley or oats or nothin’. Just pure cane sugar. That’s what the bag says, and I reckon they gotta tell the truth about that kinda stuff.
How much sugar is in there?
Well, a four-pound bag is a lot. That’s 64 ounces, if you’re keepin’ track. Enough to last a good while, unless you’re bakin’ up a storm every day. And if you want to make syrup out of it, you can just mix it with water. More sugar makes it thicker and sweeter, less sugar makes it thinner. It’s all up to you.
Where to get it?
You can find this sugar at most grocery stores, I reckon. They sell it online too, if you don’t feel like goin’ to the store. But I like to see what I’m buyin’, so I usually just pick it up at the market when I’m gettin’ my other groceries. It’s easy to find, usually right there with the flour and other bakin’ stuff.
So, that’s about all I know about this “imperial extra-fine pure cane granulated sugar.” It’s good sugar, it’s sweet, and it gets the job done. Can’t ask for much more than that, can ya? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go start on a batch of cookies.
