It is worth noting that starch compounds are also classified as carbohydrates according to the scientific classification.

However, sugar sand, unlike starch, is much lighter, and most importantly, it is absorbed faster by the human body. Historians argue that for the first time sugar began to be made, and in addition, the inhabitants of Ancient India began to eat. Over time, commercial supplies of cane sugar were established from India through Egypt to the Roman Empire.

It is also noteworthy that the Romans themselves began to cultivate sugarcane in Sicily in order to subsequently make sugar. However, with the fall of the mighty Roman Empire, the sugarcane cultivation culture was abandoned. Interestingly, sugar got its original name thanks to the ancient Indian language, translated from which शर्करः or śarkaraḥ means "grain of sand. "

Sugar appeared in Russia for the first time in the XI century. For quite a long time, sugar remained a food that was available only to the upper strata of the population.
