Sugar was used to produce Seedless Fruits: which was one of the technologies known to ancient Indian agriculturists, which presents a safe technology and methodology regarding organic agriculture, according to treatises (such as the Vrikshayurveda). One such technology was to produce seedless fruits: Seeds often impart a bitter taste, thereby causing an unpleasant experience while eating the fruit. Seeds also accelerate fruit deterioration. Hence seedless varieties of fruits have greater economic value. Use of Abrus precatorius (jequirity), Madhuca indica (butter tree), Saussurea lappa (costus), Glycyrrhiza glabra (liquorice), honey, sugar, and clarified butter is said to cause seedlessness.
