In the world, there are two plants cultivated by humans that are known for their high sugar content: the well-known sugar beet and sugarcane, which thrives in warmer climates. However, a new contender has emerged—another plant whose tubers accumulate just slightly less sugar than the roots of beets. This plant has yet to undergo any breeding modifications, making it difficult to predict what humans might eventually create from it.
This rival to the sugar beet is none other than the dahlia, a flower that Europeans first encountered in the garden of the Mexican ruler Montezuma centuries ago. Experts believe that cultivating dahlias could be quite profitable. And with every package of sugar, dahlias could provide a delightful bonus—a bouquet of beautiful flowers!
