Introduction
Just imagine that you were living in Greece, Persia, or anywhere else in Southeast Asia, 3000 years ago and walking in a market garden. You would find plenty of gardeners selling you a “wonderful stick which has juice sweeter than honey.” The sweetmeats that you ate would have been flavored with molasses or brown sugar, extracted from the juice from this “stick”. It is supposed to have been domesticated in 6000 BC somewhere in New Guinea.
