Moonsugar is used in a number of invariably sweet foods that make up the staple of the Khajiit diet, including candies, sweet cakes, puddings, and sugarmeats. Humans are more susceptible to the effects of moonsugar, and as such are cautioned against partaking of any native food in Elsweyr. Usage ДЄlthough moonsugar is a drug, the Khajiit are more naturally tolerant to it because they consume moonsugar in some form every day. Attempting to sell more than two pounds of moonsugar is punishable by execution. Under the laws of the Empire, selling or attempting to sell moonsugar in Rimmen is subject to a fine of triple the worth of the moonsugar. The price of moonsugar in Rimmen is fixed by the office of the Imperial potentate. Moonsugar is scarce in northern Elsweyr, but plentiful in Rimmen. Ya'Tirrje, the Gold Cat, runs a drug-smuggling business in Torval, Corinth, and Rimmen, all the while operating out of Senchal, which has turned from a principle port of the drug trade, to a coastal resort for wealthy, powerful Khajiit.

The moonsugar trade in Elsweyr increased multifold between 3E 412 - 3E 432. Riddle'Thar, the cosmic order deity of the Khajiiti, is also known as the Sugar God. According to the Words of Clan Mother Ahnissi, the light from the moons shone down on Elsweyr's marshes and became sugar when Azurah spoke the Third Secret to the first Khajiit on Nirn. This is said to be a blessing that the Khajiiti gods regularly bestow upon their chosen people. The Khajiit believe moonsugar to be 'crystallized moonlight,' which is caught in the Topal Sea and brought to the sugarcane groves of the Tenmar by its twin tides.
