Do you like Sugarcane? How do you eat, stick, juice or skin removed pieces?

Hi Buchi, some of the chinese people here whom their ancestors came from certain parts of china use a couple of sugarcane plants to welcome and celebrate the ninth day of chinese new year. Ornaments made from yellow color papers are tied on the top of the sugarcane. Sugarcane with straight and plump stall in bright yellow color is the selling point Sugarcane juice stalls are available here at the busy street as well as under the big tree shades during scorching dry season. It's so convenient to get it whenever we need to quench thirst. We don't have to buy the cut sugarcane and to bite and to suck the juice anymore, like what we used to do earlier. Biting the thick and hard skin sometimes might damage our teeth. There are three types of sugarcane available here. The most popular one is the one in yellow color. People here do growth the dark red sugarcane. Besides using it to cook mixed herbal tea it can be taken raw as well like the yellow one. There is another type of sugarcane which has rather small stall and we call it bamboo cane. From the name given to it means that it looks exactly similar to small size greenish bamboo. It's solely for preparing sugarcane tea. We take this tea to reduce the body heat. Happy posting and have a nice day

hi Dear as u described, same is here in Pakistan Skin Removed pieces are very popular and people like to eat them all around year, they are available on hand carts and chilled with ice. but now i prefer to have sugarcane juice, with some salt ans some lemon. its very lovely drink Take care

Hi Buchi, I really don’t like the sweetness of sugar cane. In my childhood sugar cane was very rare in our place and which was sold in a temple at the time of festival and people used to buy it from there. When I grown up I got a piece of sugar cane and I planted it in the yard which spread in the whole place. Here in Delhi, in summer sugar cane juice is in high demand but I never drink that juice. It seems you are enjoying the sugar cane and its juice. Its skin is very hard and your teeth must be strong to eat the same without removing the skin.

hi Buchi_bulla, once again you are remembering your child hood days,i am also when in teens visiting Tirunala,but till now i have visited Devuni Kadapa ,every year on Rathasapthami ,the Rathamu is carried around the Temple ,the ritual of Rathayatra is celebrating with more people,there i have find the sugarcane sticks,then i am bringing one to my home,now also i am seeing the sugarcane sticks in the streets,but i am not buying ,who will eat now,have a nice day

It's been a long time since I've eaten sugarcane. But i remember when i was a child that we could eat as much as we want since we have a lot planted in our backyard. We even made sugar out of it. We eat it until our mouths and teeth gave up for skinning it. What we have is of two different colors, the greenish and the reddish colored sugarcane. I like the reddish color since it's sweeter compare to the green one.

Well i love sugarcane and i love them eating as juice. Thats real tasty. I do eat removing the skin, but i have bad disordered teeth and it gets struck easily, so i go for juice. Sankranthi is one of the major festival and i enjoyed it.

Sugarcane is very good in summer. The best way to eat sugarcane is first to remove the upper layer either with teeth if your teeth are so strong you can check out or with a knife and the middle layer will not be so hard. It is a juicy part. We can bite it easily and crush it under our teeth. Then you can understand the real.....yummy....it will be..the juice which come out of it you know will be so tasty that I am getting water in my mouth. By eating this even it helps to clean our teeth, blood circulation increases in the gums and our teeth become strong.......Juice it's a very easy way to have like crushed under machine and have it. But eaten by our teeth is the real way and the taste we get. juice we drink off with in minutes but bit by bit when we eat then we get the real maaza in it.....Even there is little hard work behind this right so it will be so tasty than juice.....

I will eat sugarcane by crushing it with my teeth earlier. By crushing the sticks by teeth, makes our teeth clean and strong. But now, since i lost most of my teeth, I can only drink the juice and can't eat the stick. The juice is good for jaundice too and if lime and fresh ginger juice is added to it, it helps in digestion and controls vomitting sensation

i remember sugar cane during my childhood days when i visited my friends sugar cane plantation. during that time i didnt know about sugarcane yet. so when we got there i saw some people eating and i was laughing coz i though its a young bamboo and so i said why are they eating bamboo. then they also laugh at me and told me to try one. but i really dont eat it. i bring some of them and my parents are eating them and so thats the only time i know that its not really a bamboo but sugarcane and sugar come from it. I love to eat from stick i can still feel the juice running every time i take bite on it.

HI Aunty In my childhood i use to peel the skin of sugarcane and have it now i am become lazy and i dont have patience to peel the skin with my teeth so now i have the sugarcane which is already peeled or prefer to have the juice. Now a day the sugarcane juice is available in all the seasons. There are outlets called "cane o la" who sell juices in all the seasons adding different flavours liker, mint, ginger, chat masala, pepper. Have a great day

I like to drink sugar cane juice with lots of ice. Squeeze some lemon into and it even taste better.

I like sugarcane juice but I haven't had the chance to really eat them. Because we don't usually get to buy them from supermarket but it is widely available from fruit juice vendors in the form of drinks. I never attempt to buy just the sugarcane from them though because it's really more convenient to drink it. Especially if you mixed it with lemon, it tasted even better. But if you are suffering from a cough, do try to refrain from drinking sugarcane.

Hello dear i just love having sugar cane,mostly i prefer having juice and the stick one also.

I was very much fund of sugar cane, i used to remove the skin using my teeth and crush the flesh sucking the sweet juice, i also drank the iced juice the vendors sell on street sides But now with diabetes (controlled of course)that craze is gone, more over teeth are not strong, i am afraid they may comeout..... Happy posting, cheers

hie buchi, i used to have a sugarcane plot at at the right side of our house. when the sugar cane is matured, we cut the sugar cane and bite with our teeth. the cane is so delicious and thirst quenching. later on we moved house and i used to buy sugar cane drink from the vendour. its more refreshing when added with ice cubes. its refreshing on a hot and humid day. its a popular drink in my country.

I love sugarcane and love to remove the skin by mouth it is really fun and good exercise for the gums. Now that summer season has arrived we will have lot of sugarcane juice whi will be available and that I really love to drink.

hi. i love my sugarcane in juice. over here it's quite easily available. some people take it on an empty stomach. i sometimes do. but usually i take it down with my meal.

herein the Philippines we have really sweet sugarcane! OMG! i remember eating this raw.. removing the skin with my teeth but sometimes i use a blunt knife. i prefer to eat sugarcane that way, yes its a bit messy but i want to eat it as sugar cane you know..not just like any pre-packed food. sugar cane is sweeter when you eat it that way!oh i miss sugar canes!
