Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
After the Egyptians crushed cut cane and captured the juice, they boiled and strained the liquid, let it settle, then strained it 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.

Answer:
Egyptians created an innovative process for refining white sugar.
Explanation:
- After crushing cut cane and capturing the juice, the Egyptians boiled and strained the liquid, allowing it to settle before straining it again. The cane juice was then poured into molds with holes in the bottom, allowing all of the liquid to drain away, leaving only a powder. This powder was then combined with milk and boiled once more. The procedure was repeated after one round of these steps. Egypt was known for having the "whitest and purest" sugar as a result of all of this effort and care.
- Sugar is the generic term for a variety of sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food.
Thus this is the answer.
