What is the central idea of the passage? After the Egyptians crushed cut cane and captured the
juice, they boiled and strained the liquid, let it settle, then
strained it again. The cane juice was now poured into
molds with holes in the bottom, so that all the liquid
could drain out, leaving only a powder. That powder was
then mixed with milk and boiled again. After one round
of these steps, the process was repeated all over again. As
a result of all this effort and care, Egypt was known for
the "whitest and purest" sugar.
