What is sugar?

Sugar is like the sweet friend that makes food taste good.

Sugar is a white, grainy substance, kind of like salt, but it tastes sweet instead of salty. You can find it in things like candy, cookies, and even soda. It’s often found in a big bag or a container in the kitchen.

When you eat something with sugar in it, your mouth feels happy because sugar sends a message to your brain that says, “This tastes good!” Your body then starts using the sugar for energy, just like how a toy car uses batteries to move.

If you ever put sugar on your cereal or in your coffee, that’s sugar doing its job, making things taste better and giving you a little extra power to play or run around!
