[Sca-cooks] black sugar

[Jim and Andi]

I'm not sure they used unrefined sugar in Persia... if they did, I've never
seen any reference to it. They didn't use it in North India, and it wasn't
traded as far as I know. Refined white sugar was traded extensively with
Persia, though. Although I don't know how white it actually was, it's always
called white sugar in my books. In India, only poor people used unrefined
jaggery or unrefined cane sugar, or they fed it to horses... maybe it was
closer to that stuff you can buy called...ummm... it starts with a "t"... I
can't remember the name but it's light brown but it's crystals like white
sugar... Turbinado!!!

Comments, opnions, anyone..? This is guesswork on my part.

the quote starts here:
What's "balsc sugar"? Was that in my original email? If
it was, I misspelled something.
