True :D
Sugar cane is a grassy plant (image below) and it is grown in hot countries like Brazil. Also, the Europeans saw sugar as a real treat and it was very expensive, so I would say they craved it.
True, sugarcane is a tall grass that thrives in hot, tropical regions, and European demand for sugar was historically significant. This demand led to extensive cultivation in colonial regions, relying heavily on enslaved labor. Sugar became a luxury item in Europe, often traded for precious metals.
