Featured Ingredients
Strawberries
Strawberries are a popular fruit that are often eaten fresh, in jams and jellies, or in pies and other desserts. The fruit is actually a member of the rose family, and its scientific name is Fragaria.
Strawberries are a good source of Vitamin C. The majority of strawberries sold in supermarkets are the cultivar ‘ fragaria x ananassa’, which was developed through a cross between two wild strawberry species.
Strawberries are typically harvested from late April to mid-June in the Northern Hemisphere, and from December to February in the Southern Hemisphere.
Granulated Sugar
Granulated sugar is the most common type of sugar used in baking and cooking. It is made from refined sugar cane or sugar beets.
Granulated sugar dissolves quickly and easily, making it ideal for sweetening beverages and for use in baking recipes. It can also be used to make a variety of other sweet treats, such as candy and frosting.
While granulated sugar is often used as a sweetener, it can also help to add texture and volume to baked goods. When combined with other ingredients, like flour and butter, granulated sugar helps to create a light, fluffy texture that is perfect for cakes and cookies.
