Morphology
The meaning 'sugar processed into small, white grains' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'granulated' (made into small grains) with 'sugar' (the sweet crystalline substance). This adjective+noun composition follows a standard and cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE.
Etymology
Granulated sugar comes from a simple image: granulated means 'made into small grains' and sugar is the sweet ingredient. Because these tiny, white grains mix and measure easily, granulated sugar today means the common sugar used in cooking and baking.
