Sugar Cane

Sugar canes, which are from the grass family, are imported in two formats; six to nine foot long raw canes, and ready-prepared bite size cylinders. As well as being processed to make commercial products such as table salt and ethanol, it can be consumed as a fruit, where chewing the fibrous flesh releases the sugar-rich juice. Sugar cane sticks can be used as a beverage stirrer, naturally sweetening any drink.
