There are many other types of sugar.Some occur naturally in fruits,vegetables and milk.Sugars are also added as an ingredients to many types of food.when we talk about sugar,we usually refer to table sugar or sucrose,from cane or beet.Other types of sugar include:

*Beet sugar
White crystalline sugar(saccharose) obtained from sugar beets.

*Brown sugar
sugar to which is added a bit of molasses for flavour and colour.

*Cane sugar
white crystalline sugar(saccharose) obtained from sugarcane.

*Castor sugar
a very fine granulated sugar.Because of its fineness,it dissolves more quickly than regular white sugar,and so is especially useful in meringues and cold liquids.It is not as fine as power sugar,which has been crushed mechanically (and mixed with a little starch to keep it from clumping).

*Corn sugar
glucose obtained from corn.

*Crystal sugar
normal granulated cane or beet sugar,see saccharose.Sold as grains or pressed into sugar cubes.

*Granulated sugar
the normal small sugar crystals used at home.

*Honey
an 80% solution of sugar in water.Main sugars in honey are fructose,glucose and saccharose.

*Maple syrup
from the sap of a sugar maple tree.It is solutions of 70% saccharose and glucose in water.

*Spun sugar
fine strands of hardened boiled sugar that are used to decorate various desserts.

Knowing the types of sugar as ingredients can help reduce sugar in our diets,which is especially  important for children for anyone who is diabetic.
