Must choose to buy fresh sugarcane

Even though sugar cane is sweet, buying sweet sugar cane takes experience to choose, don’t just buy it because the taste will be very different. So should you buy sugar cane, should you choose curved or straight, buy ice or black cane?

Usually, high quality sugarcane grows very straight, any tree that is long will also grow very straight. The quality of straight sugar cane juice is better.

Sugarcane grows curved, or straight and curved because it does not absorb much nutrients, it tastes less watery.

Curved cane is also susceptible to mold, or the insects in it – especially those that are too large, curved, too short, or of irregular length.

– Choose medium-sized cane, no need to choose cane that is too big or too small.

Especially high-quality fresh sugarcane often has a clear layer of ice on the surface – this is not ash, or dirt, but a reaction secreted by sugarcane that absorbs more nutrients and naturally overflows. This sugar cane has a smooth outer shell, a white powdery coating on the stem (called frost color) which has a specific taste and sweetness that is very different from the surface of sugar cane with little or no frost.

– Pay attention to the burning time of the sugar cane, whether the sugar cane is sweet and succulent, the length of each segment is the same (except those burned above), not burning long, short burning irregularly.

Sugarcane with slightly longer eyes will have more water than sugarcane with too short eyes burns (even if the seller insists that the sugar cane is sweet and has a lot of water, don’t believe it).

– The sugar cane is fresh, lots of water, the outer skin is round, shiny, not wrinkled, the pieces are still water.

– The thickness of sugarcane is generally about 4.5 cm in diameter, which is relative, not too thick and not too thin (not too big or too small) – is sugarcane with relatively normal nutrient and moisture content in it. so it’s better.

– Choose sugarcane with an even color, light yellow and shiny skin. The sugarcane body must be intact, not cracked or torn, to ensure the amount of water in the sugarcane and avoid insects and flies.

– When the sugar cane is peeled, the sugar cane flesh is bright white, dense, contains lots of water, tastes cool. If you find that the sugar cane has a strange taste, or red or black streaks on the sugar cane, don’t pick it, if you buy it then throw the sick cane piece away, don’t try to eat it lest you get in trouble.

– Sugarcane juice chooses trees with slightly clean bark, avoiding black plaque so that when squeezing the juice it takes a long time to process the dirt.

Avoid buying sugarcane with the following signs:

– Do not buy sugarcane with little water, looks a bit lumpy, dry, the skin surface shows wrinkles, not shiny, not moist when pressed on the cut.

– Burned sugarcane has different short length, or the burn is very short compared to other sugarcane, the taste will not be too sweet.

– Do not buy sugar cane that grows curved, or straight and curved, because sugarcane usually does not absorb many nutrients, the taste is generally less sweet.

Do not be greedy to choose sugar cane that is too big because this sugar cane is easily chewy, has little water, tastes pale. We recommend that you choose a medium stick, if you hold a certain load, not too light.
