Sugar: The Timeless Treat
Sugar, once so valuable it was used as currency, remains an integral food preserver. It protects fruits during preservation, enhancing their flavors without overpowering them. Stored in cool, dry conditions, sugar can last indefinitely, offering sweet sustenance whenever needed.
