Today, people eat a lot of sugar. It is easy for most people to buy sweet things and to cook with sugar. They are part of our daily lives. Where did sugar come from and what is its history How has the sugar business changed the world
The first sugar cane (甘蔗) grew on the island of New Guinea around 6000 BC. Around 1000
BCE, sugar cane was brought in boats to India. People first chewed ( 咀 嚼 ) sugar cane because they knew that a very sweet juice came out. It tasted good! People soon learned how to take the juice out of the cane. They cooked the cane in water, dried it, and were left with small pieces of
sugar, called crystals.
In the 8th century CE, Arabs brought sugar cane to Spain. When Columbus went to the West Indies for the second time, in 1493, he took a sugar cane plant with him. The weather there, with lots of sun and rain, was excellent for growing sugar cane.
By the 18th century, farmers in the southern United States were growing sugar cane on plantations ( 种 植 园 ) because of weather. But sugar was expensive because making sugar from
cane was not fast or easy.
In 1879, in California, a new factory found a way to make sugar faster and cheaper. Making sugar became an important business. By 1900, there were more than 30 sugar factories in the United States. Suddenly there was a lot more sugar in the shops. In 1700, the average American ate less than two kilos of sugar a year. But as sugar became cheaper and easier to buy, people in the United States ate much more of it, they started to drink their tea and coffee sweetened with sugar. They started to eat more chocolate, jams, and candies made with sugar. By 1900 the average American ate over 30 kilos of sugar a year!

“There is a clear change happening across higher education around the world, and perhaps most rapidly in the Chinese mainland,” he added.
