  Taken from a series that introduces younger children to all the aspects of everyday food, this book looks at sugar. It examines why we eat it, where and how it is grown, its nutritional value, who eats it and where, and its historical background. It also contains step-by-step simple recipes, which the readers can easily follow. Sugar has been used as a sweetener for at least 2000 years, and this book takes a look at some of that history. The author describes how sugar cane and beet are cultivated today, and the processes used to refine them. The many uses of sugar are looked at, including those for non-food products. There is also a section on sugar and health - the importance of dental care.
