White Sugar is a bag of plain sugar used mostly for baking and sweetening. A full bag lowers hunger by 30 and holds 387 calories, almost all of it carbohydrate. That makes it a dense supply of energy for a character who needs to gain weight.
Its main value is in the kitchen. Sugar goes into cake batter, cookies and muffins, and it sweetens hot drinks, toast and oatmeal. It keeps indefinitely, so a bag can sit in a pantry for the whole run. It is found in bakeries and restaurant kitchens, and it can also be made from Sugar Beet. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Eating
Sugar can be eaten straight from the bag. A full bag lowers hunger by 30, which is a lot for an item weighing 0.6. It carries 387 calories and 100 grams of carbohydrates, with no protein or fat at all.
That mix suits a character who is underweight and needs calories fast. Sugar holds no protein, so it works best alongside meat, fish or beans.
Compared with Brown Sugar, White Sugar fills the same amount but carries more energy. Brown Sugar holds 337 calories and 90 grams of carbohydrates. A single Sugar Packet lowers hunger by only 1, so a full bag equals a large pile of packets.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
Sugar counts as a spice in evolved dishes. A spice does not take up one of the ingredient slots, so it can be added on top of a full recipe. It goes into a Hot Drink, Toast and Oatmeal, adding 1 hunger to each.
Baking is where sugar matters most. The Make Cake Batter recipe takes two sugar items along with flour, eggs, fat, yeast and milk. Sugar also goes into Chocolate Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Oatmeal Cookies, Sugar Cookies, Shortbread Cookies and Plain Muffins. Any item tagged as sugar works in these recipes, so Brown Sugar can stand in for it.
A farm that grows Sugar Beet can keep a kitchen supplied. The Collect Sugar Beet Sugar recipe turns the beets into White Sugar.
These dishes take the White Sugar as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.
| Dish | Hunger Restored | Note |

| Hot Drink | 1 | - |
| Oatmeal | 1 | - |
| Toast | 1 | - |
Locations
White Sugar is a common find in places that bake. Donut shop storage rooms hold it most of the time, and bakery storage holds it about three times in four. Bakery and donut shop counters carry it about a third of the time.
Restaurant kitchens are the next best place to look. Counters in diners, cafeterias, Spiffo's, fancy restaurants and the Gigamart kitchen hold it about a quarter of the time. Cafe shelves, butcher shops and general store shelves turn it up now and then. Grocery shelves at Gigamart and grocery stores carry it less often. Survivor safehouses and food caches sometimes hold a bag too.

Notes
- Sugar is a spice, so adding it to a Hot Drink or Oatmeal never uses up an ingredient slot.
- A full bag lowers hunger by 30, which makes it a strong emergency meal.
- Cake batter needs two sugar items, so bakers should keep at least two bags on hand.
- Growing Sugar Beet gives a steady supply once the stores run dry.
- Brown Sugar works in every baking recipe that calls for sugar.
