After the Egyptians crushed cut cane and captured the juice, they boiled and strained the liquid, let it settle, then strained i

t again. The cane juice was now poured into molds with holes in the bottom, so that all the liquid could drain out, leaving only a powder. That powder was then mixed with milk and boiled again. After one round of these steps, the process was repeated all over again. As a result of all this effort and care, Egypt was known for the “whitest and purest” sugar.

<em>The details in the passage support the following central idea: The details describe the extensive and repetitive process necessary to create white sugar.</em>

This wife and husband Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos wrote the book "Sugar Changed the World" and share how through history, sugar has been very important for humans since ancient civilizations, from Egypt to Europe in the MIddle ages, to South America.
