After the Egyptians crushed cut cane and captured the juice, they boiled and strained the liquid, let it settle, then strained i

t 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.

<em>The details in the passage support the following central idea: The details describe the extensive and repetitive process necessary to create white sugar.</em>
