Sugar is the sweetener behind nearly every dessert in the farmhouse kitchen, from Cookies and Ice Cream to Pink Cake and Pumpkin Pie. Pierre's General Store keeps it in stock all year, so a recipe never has to wait for it. For a cheaper supply, a Mill turns each Beet into three bags of Sugar overnight. A long list of cakes, pies, puddings and sweets calls for it. Its value lies in those dishes rather than in selling it, and it makes a very poor gift.
The in-game description reads: Adds sweetness to pastries and candies. Too much can be unhealthy.
Location
Buying is the simple route. Pierre's General Store sells Sugar every day of the year, and JojaMart sells it too at a higher price. A bag costs twice what it sells for, so buying only makes sense for cooking.
Milling is the cheaper route over time. The Mill comes from Robin, who asks for Cloth, Stone, Wood and gold to put it up. Putting a Beet into it gives three bags of Sugar, waiting in the box beside the Mill the next morning.
Beets come from Beet Seeds, which Sandy sells at the Oasis in the Calico Desert. The desert opens once the bus at the Bus Stop is repaired. Beets grow in Fall and ripen in under a week. A Greenhouse lets them grow in any season, which keeps Sugar flowing all year.
Uses
Desserts take most of the Sugar. Cooking Wheat Flour, Sugar and an Egg makes either a Chocolate Cake or a batch of Cookies, depending on the recipe. Evelyn teaches Cookies at four hearts of friendship, and The Queen of Sauce teaches Chocolate Cake. Adding Milk to Sugar makes Ice Cream, while adding a Pumpkin, Wheat Flour and Milk makes Pumpkin Pie.
Fruit dishes use it as well. Two Blackberries with Sugar and Wheat Flour make Blackberry Cobbler. Cranberries and Sugar make Cranberry Sauce, and adding an Apple instead makes Cranberry Candy. A Melon, Wheat Flour, Sugar and an Egg make Pink Cake. Marnie mails the Rhubarb Pie recipe at seven hearts, and that pie combines Rhubarb with Wheat Flour and Sugar. Blueberry Tart, Plum Pudding and Poppyseed Muffin round out the baking list.
Some sweet dishes help on adventures. A Maple Bar mixes Maple Syrup, Sugar and Wheat Flour. Miner's Treat mixes two Cave Carrots with Sugar and Milk, and Maru loves receiving it. Ginger Ale uses Sugar with Ginger from Ginger Island, and drinking it gives a little Luck. Banana Pudding and Rice Pudding also take Sugar.
Glazed Yams are the simplest of all, needing only a Yam and a bag of Sugar. The Queen of Sauce teaches that recipe on her Fall show.

Notes
Milling a regular or silver-quality Beet earns more as Sugar than selling the Beet raw. A gold Beet with the Tiller profession is better sold as it is. Pickling Beets in a Preserves Jar beats both options by a wide margin, so a big Beet harvest is best split between the jar and the Mill.
Villagers react badly to Sugar as a gift, so it should never go in a gift box.
