Sugar is a fairly harmful food product that should be limited.

However, in fact, it can be used for more than just food.

There are 5 uses for sugar that you might not know about.

Absorption of unpleasant odors

Burned a pot and can't get rid of the burning smell?

Light a piece of refined sugar in an iron bowl and the smell of burning will immediately be replaced by the pleasant aroma of caramel.

Healing and disinfection

Dissolve 8 teaspoons of sugar in 1 glass of water - this sugar syrup is an excellent remedy for healing first-degree burns.

And if you cut yourself, sprinkle the wound with sugar - this will prevent suppuration and speed up healing.

Skin cleansing

It is not for nothing that many cosmetic products contain sugar: small grains act as a scrub and help cleanse the skin.

Fertilizer

It is recommended to feed houseplants with sugar once a month. To do this, simply sprinkle the powder on the soil and water it.

Extending the life of flowers

3 tablespoons sugar and 3 tablespoons vinegar - a natural preservative for cut flowers.
