Cane sugar is a luxury crystallized from tropical plants, arriving in small quantities by way of merchant fleets. The dry white crystals dissolve in hot liquids and sweeten pastries, medicines, and preserves. In noble households, sugar appears at feasts; in poor villages, a pinch is rationed as medicine. Sugar keeps indefinitely in sealed vessels and travels well, making it a precious trade commodity across continents.
