A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
The solid, jointed, fibrous stem of cultivated sugarcane, a tropical grass in the genus Saccharum. Its pale interior contains sweet juice.
In the kitchen
Peeled and pressed for juice, simmered in drinks, or processed into sugar. Strained juice is drunk; the tough pressed fibres are discarded.
Stalk colour and sweetness vary by cultivar. Fresh cane is not refined sugar, bamboo or a ready-made bottled juice.
