The evidence from the passage that supports the inference that sugar was expensive and not available to everyone is "cooks working for the wealthiest people." This suggests that sugar was a luxury item used primarily by the affluent, indicating that it was not accessible to the general population.
Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
When knowledge of sugar was just beginning to spread from India, from Persia, from Greece, from the great school of Jundi Shapur, cooks working for the wealthiest people treated it as a spice, blending it with other tastes. They continued to do that for another thousand years.
