Sugar Beet

Our Sugar comes from two sources, pretty equallySugar Cane

and Sugar Beet

But you have to look hard to see the difference. If you are into 'local' then beet is best.

But where did sugar beet come from?

Well.. it is good ol Napolean. Famous for getting the can discovered, he also wanted a way to overcome the English blockade that was preenting him getting sugar from the Caribbean. So he wanted to produce his own. You need sugar to keep the troops quiet.

So... the story

Sugar Beet in UK was heavily subsisied by EU, but that has come to an end (has it?).
