荷兰人喜欢吃甜的东西,好几个世纪荷兰人吃的是进口的甘蔗糖。1660年单是荷兰首都阿姆斯特丹就有60间开业的炼糖厂,这个城市遗留下来的街道和建筑物名称,仍可追溯到那个时代。十七和十八世纪,阿姆斯特丹是一个较大的食糖贸易中心。在拿破仑时代,为了对抗英国封锁,欧洲大陆上发展了甜菜糖生产,许多炼糖厂转为加工甜菜,但是没有获得很大进展。

Dutch people like to eat sweet things, for centuries the Dutch eat imported cane sugar. In 1660 alone there were 60 opened sugar mills in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, and the names of the streets and buildings left over from the city can be traced back to that era. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Amsterdam was a larger sugar trading center. In the Napoleonic era, in order to counter the British blockade, beet sugar production was developed on the European continent, with many refineries converting to beet processing, but no significant progress was made.
