Thank you Lala! Sugar also preserves food, specially fruits (think of jams, marmalades, candies...). But it was so expensive that for centuries it was mostly used as a medicine and for royals! Salt seems to have been more available even if also costly. I'm glad you liked it :)
This is so fascinating. I had no idea sugar was a preservative. Since salt is in everything, it's nice to have a deeper understanding of it's history.
