These included raisins, dates, lemons, and anise candies (particularly favorites of the monks). At the end of the 14th century, they imported sugar in lumps and rice, which was the most expensive at that time.
The best types of wine from southern Europe and the best types of beer were also imported. A wine cellar has been preserved in the Palace of the Grand Masters to this day, with excellent temperature conditions for storing alcoholic beverages.
