The cane stalk is divided into ten to forty intermediate nodes that are lightly coated with wax and appear shiny. Depending on the variety, the hard wall of the culm is light yellow to dark green or has reddish-brown nuances. Inside is the white to light yellow, fibrous but still juicy sugar cane pulp. Botanically it belongs to the genus of grasses.
Origin
Thailand, Costa Rica, Brazil.
Use
Sugar cane is used almost exclusively for the production of sugar, but it can also be eaten fresh. To get to the pulp of the sugar cane, you have to remove the hard shell with a sharp knife or break open the stalk. The juicy, sweet marrow is an alternative to conventional snacks or chewing gum! A refreshment is the sugar cane juice obtained by pressing and chilled.
Storage
Can be kept for about two weeks at room temperature. If stored in a cool place, sugar cane will keep for several weeks.
