Sugar cane is a tall, tropical, perennial grass that grows up to five meters high, and its stems are the main bulk of the plant, which are harvested and processed to make cane sugar and other products. Here are some things you can do with sugar cane:

• Eat it raw: In many developing countries, raw sugar cane stalks are chewed on as a sweet snack. To eat it, use a sharp knife to cut off at least an inch from each end to remove any dried-out parts. Then, cut the cane into 6-inch pieces, which are easier to work with. Next, cut or peel off the outer layer, or “bark.” Finally, you can eat your sugar cane by chewing on a small piece to release its flavor. When there’s no sweetness left, spit the piece out and throw it away.

• Use it as a skewer: Sugar cane pieces can be cut into thin sticks with a sharp point on one or both ends for optimal use as a skewer. You can leave the bark on for greater strength when skewering tougher foods. Sugar cane stalks can also serve as a great presentation skewer for prawn paste.

• Make sugarcane juice: Sugarcane stalks are filled with sweet juice and offer one of many ways to improve your restaurant’s brunch service. This tasty beverage has many health benefits, such as boosting energy, protecting the digestive system, and supporting dental health. To make sugarcane juice, you need to juice it by crushing it in rollers.

• Create unique lemonade or limeade: Blend lemon or lime juice with sugarcane juice for a mouthwatering flavor. It’s a simple twist on a classic recipe.

• Elevate cocktails and mocktails: Use fresh sugarcane juice to make cocktails and mocktails. You have endless possibilities when considering which drinks to make, but the mojito is one of the best. Use the classic ingredients of rum, mint, lime, granulated sugar, and club soda, then add fresh sugarcane juice for a brighter taste.

In summary, sugar cane can be eaten raw, used as a skewer, made into juice, and used in various drinks.
