Sugar is everywhere—in our food, our history, our politics, and our guilt. This course traces the remarkable journey of the world's sweetest commodity, from ancient cane fields and medieval spice routes to colonial plantations, industrial food systems, and today's anti-sugar movement. Along the way we explore slavery, empire, trade, addiction, and the surprising ways sugar has shaped culture, class, and taste across the globe. Come for the history, stay for the delicious recipes.
