Z FOR  ZAXAPH Sugar

The Greek general Nearchus of Crete, who commanded Alexander the Great's army in 327 BC, was the first European to encounter sugar in what is now known as the Punjab area of India. We know that Strabo, a Greek geographer some three hundred years later, described 'a reed in India that brings forth honey without the help of bees', and mentions sugar in solid form, describing it as 'stones the colour of frankincense, sweeter than figs or honey'. The Greek naturalist and physician Dioscorides spoke of it as 'a kind of solidified honey, called saccharon, found in reeds in India and Arabia.' Greeks today still call sugar 'sakharo' or 'zahari'.

It wasn't until over 1000 years later – when sugar industries in Yemen, Ethiopia and Zanzibar arose – that sugar began to play a part in Greek cuisine. Even then, sources mention the sparkle it gave to food rather than the sweetness. The Kitab al-Tabikh, a medieval Arab cookbook, describes aruzza (a rice dish) as having 'sugar sprinkled on it, so it flashes and gleams like light itself.'
