Sometime before 500 BCE, people in India developed the technology of making
unrefined, “raw” sugar by pressing out the cane juice and boiling it down into a dark mass of syrup-coated crystals. By 350 BCE, Indian cooks were combining this dark gur with wheat, barley, and rice flours and with sesame seeds to make a variety of shaped confections, some of them fried. A couple of centuries later, Indian medical texts distinguished among a number of different
syrups and sugars from cane, including
crystals from which the dark coating had been washed. These were the first refined white sugars.
