:''For the common table sugar, see sucrose.'' Sugar is a class of edible crystalline substances, mainly sucrose, lactose, and fructose. Human taste buds interpret its flavor as sweet. Sugar as a basic food carbohydrate primarily comes from sugar cane and from sugar beet, but also appears in fruit, honey, sorghum, sugar maple (in maple syrup), and in many other sources. It forms the main ingredient in candy. Excessive consumption of sugar has been associated with increased incidences of type 2 diabetes, obesity and tooth decay.Wuebben, Joseph and Mike Carlson.

[edit] About Caster Sugar
Castor is a fine sugar, sold in the US as "superfine." It is finer than granulated sugar but coarser than powdered sugar and dissolves well in liquids, making it ideal for use in merengues. You can make your own by putting granulated sugar in a food processor for a minute or two, though let the sugar settle for a few minutes before opening the food processor- this method creates sugar dust.
