Could you imagine life without sugar? Without desserts or sweet sodas or even that pinch to bring a dish into balance? Well until recently, few people on Earth had ever tasted- or even heard of the stuff. The story of how sugar went from an expensive delicacy to an everyday “essential” is grim, brutal, and horrifying, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fascinating. It’s the story of the global economy, agricultural progress and the real pirates of the Caribbean. And it’s a story that takes us from New Guinea, to India, to the New World, and just about everywhere in between.
