Health Considerations and Usage Tips

While Icing Sugar 1kg is generally safe for consumption, it’s important to use it in moderation, especially for those managing blood sugar levels.

Today, it remains one of the essential ingredients in cake decorating, frosting preparation, and cookie designs, widely used by both professional bakers and home chefs.

Storing Your Icing Sugar 1kg

For long-lasting freshness, store your Icing Sugar 1kg in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in areas that may have excess moisture or heat, as these conditions can cause clumping or the sugar to lose its fine texture.
