What is sugar mesh size?

Sugar mesh size refers to the granulation or particle size of sugar, which is determined by the size of the sieve used to classify it. A smaller mesh size indicates finer sugar particles, while a larger mesh size corresponds to coarser sugar. For example, powdered sugar typically has a mesh size of 100 or higher, while granulated sugar may fall between 20 to 30 mesh. This classification affects the sugar's solubility, texture, and suitability for various culinary applications.
