Concept:

Use quantifiers correctly:

\text{little}

is for uncountable nouns, and

\text{few}

is for countable nouns.

Explanation:

Sugar is an uncountable noun, so we cannot use

\text{few}

\text{very few}

Between

\text{a little}

and

\text{very little}

, note their meanings:

\text{a little}

means some, which is enough.

\text{very little}
