About Blue sanding sugar
Blue sanding sugar is coarse sugar crystals coloured blue and used as a decorative topping. The crystals are dry, hard, and visibly larger than ordinary granulated sugar, with a sweet taste; the blue colour comes from added colourants, whose identity and amount depend on the product.
It is sprinkled over baked goods and other foods for colour and crunch. Crystal size, colour intensity, and any additional ingredients vary among products. It is a prepared coloured sugar rather than a naturally blue sugar, and its formulation cannot be inferred from the name alone.
