About Sugar cane

Sugar cane is a tall, tropical grass native to Southeast Asia and widely grown in regions with warm climates, such as the Caribbean, South America, and India. It's known as the primary source of sugar, with its stalks pressed to extract sweet, nutrient-rich juice. Sugar cane juice contains small amounts of vitamins like B-complex and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron, making it a natural energy booster and aiding hydration. It has traditionally been used in beverages, desserts, and syrups across various cuisines, including Indian, Thai, and Latin American. However, most refined sugars made from sugar cane lose nutrients during processing, offering only empty calories. While fresh sugar cane juice can be a healthier alternative to processed sugars in moderation, excessive intake can contribute to weight gain and spikes in blood sugar. Enjoy this natural sweetener mindfully within a balanced diet.
