About Sugarcane

Sugarcane is a tropical grass native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated for its juicy stalks. Rich in sucrose, it serves as the primary source of table sugar and plays a significant role in cuisines worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Fresh sugarcane juice is popular for its naturally sweet flavor and refreshing qualities, often enhanced with lime or ginger in street beverages. While sugarcane juice provides small amounts of vitamin C, antioxidants, and electrolytes, its high sugar content means it should be consumed in moderation. Sugarcane is also a source of raw materials for refined sugar production, which can contribute to health concerns such as obesity or diabetes when consumed excessively. Despite these considerations, sugarcane remains a natural and unprocessed option for sweetness compared to industrially refined sugars, making it a culturally rich and versatile ingredient in both drinks and sweet dishes.
