Fortunately, there are many options for white sugar. We can try them to test which one fits best in dessert recipes:

Almond is a nut that is suitable for all ages. They contain a lot of nutrients, protein, healthy fats and fiber. 

Even though they contain a lot of calories, this is converted into a lot of energy. They also do not have a negative effect on body weight if you eat them in moderation. (A handful a day)

Almonds are also rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects us from premature aging, both internally and externally.
