Sugar is a class of edible crystalline carbohydrates, mainly sucrose, lactose, and fructose, characterized by a sweet flavor.
Sucrose in its refined form primarily comes from sugar cane and sugar beet. It and the other sugars are present in natural and refined forms in many foods, and the refined forms are also added to many food preparations.
Currently, Brazil has the highest per capita production of sugar. As of December 29, 2011, sugar output in the Ukraine was 51% higher than the previous year.
In food, "sugars" refer to all monosaccharides and disaccharides present in food, but excludes polyols, while in its singular form, "sugar" normally refers to sucrose. The other sugars are usually known by more specific names — glucose, fructose or fruit sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc.
