"But we also have to be careful of how we store our sugar. A preservative in and of itself, sugar doesn't expire on its own. But if it's exposed to air, it meets moisture, and that moisture can turn its fine granules into hard clumps and also introduce bacteria - two deal-breakers for using that sugar again. Plus, exposed sugar is basically a cordial invitation to pests."
"This container allows you to pour in your sugar and seal it with the lid to keep it safe from air. With its stylish glass-and-gold look, it's one of those kitchen essentials that double as decor, effortlessly fitting into your overall kitchen aesthetic. Place yours where it makes the most sense, whether that's near your baking station or in a cozy coffee nook alongside your machine, mugs, coffees, and teas. Just make sure it's not in direct light, as light can cause sugar to deteriorate."
"At just $2.00, the Caterer's Corner candy jar is a steal for proper sugar storage. It's easily one of the best kitchen organization essentials you can find at Dollar Tree. But there's more you can do to perfect your sugar-storing game here. On Amazon, you can find a P&P Chef set of two goldtone stainless steel candy scoops -these are perfect for spooning your sugar out of the candy jar while matching its aesthetic."
Sugar does not expire on its own, but exposure to air allows moisture to clump granules, introduce bacteria, and attract pests. An airtight container with a secure lid prevents air and moisture contact and preserves sugar usability. A low-cost option like the Caterer's Corner plastic candy jar with a gold lid provides sealed storage while serving as attractive kitchen decor. Position the jar near baking or coffee areas but out of direct light to avoid deterioration. Metal scoops complement the jar for serving, and granulated, brown, demerara, turbinado, and muscovado sugars can be stored similarly.
