Answer

SUGAR

This common household ingredient has been a valuable commodity throughout human history, once considered as precious as gold in some cultures. It comes primarily from sugarcane or sugar beets and is processed into the white crystalline form we know today. The word itself comes from the Sanskrit word 'sharkara' meaning gravel or grit, referring to its granular texture.
