Who Made That Sugar Cube?

In the 18th century, europeans bought their sugar in brown loafs and had to be hacked, smashed and smashed into small pieces. "People just think that to use sugar you have to go through all these physical problems," said Elizabeth Abbott, author of sugar: bittersweet history. "The most surprising thing is that no sugar cube was invented earlier." By the 19th century, stores sold sugar had been broken down into randomly sized pieces. But they may not be convenient for tea. They are often dunked because they are not fit to be in a cup. When the tea leaves are finished, what you have left is a sticky mess for later use.
Tolstoy describes the process in a short story: "Stepanich drank his cup, turned it upside down, and put the rest of the sugar on it."
In the 1840 s, when Juliana, vladimir radmanovic (Juliana Rad) in Moravia (Moravia)) (a sugar refinery in a sugar refinery boss is married, he cut off a finger when cutting sugar, made progress. She complained to her husband that she might be waving her bandages: why not make a perfect cup of sugar for a cup of tea? His innovation was to use a media to make cubes, and he quickly gave a box of presents to his wife. He applied for a patent for the professional publishing house in 1843.
The Rads are likely to be Pierre and Marie Curie of beveridge, but it took decades to spread the sugar cube in Europe. A German, Eugen Langen, reinvented the cube in the 1870s - the melted sugar spun around in a centrifuge and then saw into small pieces. In the late 19th century, "processed foods and refined foods became popular," abbott said.
