The Amplifier and Balancing
Act
Of course, we all know the aroma
of something sweet in the oven, but
sugar naturally enhances flavors, too.
Vegetables have that fresh-from-the
garden taste when a little sugar is
added. Sugar helps strengthen fibers
and cell structures in fruits and
vegetables during cooking. (Related
note: Sugar added to a vase can keep
your flowers fresh longer, too!)
On the flip side, sugar balances sour,
bitter, salty, spicy and acidic flavors
in foods. It counters the acidity in
tomato and barbecue sauces and salad
dressing, and makes foods that contain
a lot of fiber (and hence, bitter flavors)
taste a lot better. Without sugar, many
foods would be much less enjoyable and
often completely inedible.
The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines
for Americans recognize that the
addition of small amounts of added
sugars to some nutrient-dense foods
help make some foods more palatable
while working toward meeting food
group recommendations (within calorie
limits).
Swapping Out Sugar? Not So
Fast
Efforts to reduce or remove sugar
from foods and beverage products often
require complex reformulation. This is
because there is no single ingredient
can replace real sugar's flavor and
function; when sugar is removed,
several ingredients often need to be
added.
There is no substitute for real sugar.
Beyond its notable taste, it's versatile
and plays vital roles in many of the
foods we eat. n
