| While we Americans tend to think of candy in terms of supermarket and convenience stores displays, this sweet culinary family offers a much broader and complicated lineage. Food historians propose the first sweets were consumed as a sort of medical treatment for digestive troubles. Today's cough drops and peppermint sticks descend from this tradition. As time and technology progressed, so did the art of confectionery. The English word "candy" derives from Arabic "qandi," meaning something madew with sugar. Indeed, the first candies were sugar coated nuts, seeds and fruits. Conserves and preserves (fruit preserved in sugar) eventually became it's own type of food. |
