Zgodovino s|odkorio

Sladkor so zaceli uporabljati
veliko pozneje kot ma primer
moko ali ollie. Prvi Evropejci, XII
so Sc s sladkorjem seznanili, so
bill krizarji, XII so v Mezopotami-
il videli otroke, kako zvecijo Ste
belca nekega trsja. Ko so to po-
skusili tudi sami, so ugotovili,
da imajo ia stebelca mex poseben
okus, XII so ga imenovali "sla-
dek."
Prvi v Evropi pa so sladkor
priceli pridobivati spanci, kajti
Arabci so S seboj prinesli ma Pi-
renejski polotok tudi sladkorni
trs. Toda pridobivanje sladkor-
ia iz te rastline nj bilo mic kaj
enostavno in zato ga je bilo v
prometu kaj malo. Sluzil je v
glavnem le kot zdravilo in pro-
dajali so ga tudi samo v lekar-
nah po visokih cenah.
V Evropi pa "a sajenje in
uspevanje sladkornega trsa nj
bilo ugodno podnebje in Sc zato
rastlina nj mogla razsiriti. Toda
kljub temu so bill spanci tisti,
XII so pripomogli k sirjenju te
rastline po svetu. Podjetni Span
ski mornarji so krizarili po sve-
tn, odkrivali move dezele in tako
zanesli sladkorni trs tudi Anne

jem med Evropo in Ameriko je
bilo v II. stoletju zelo dohiska-
nosen posel.
V Evropi pa SO ucenjaki raz-
misljali, kako bi nadomestili
sladkorni trs, XII nikakor nj ho-
