Efficacy and Nutritional Value of Sugarcane 3 How to Choose Sugarcane

1. Select straight sugarcane.

The straighter the sugarcane, the better it grows. Bending sugarcane may appear lodging in the growth process, so the taste of sugarcane will be discounted; There may be bugs in the curved sugarcane.

2. The thickness of sugarcane should be moderate.

When selecting sugarcane, you must choose sugarcane that is neither too thick nor too thin, and the thickness of a sugarcane itself should be uniform, so that the taste of sugarcane will be good.

3. Different from sugarcane skin.

When choosing fruit cane, try to choose the darker color, because the darker the color of sugarcane skin, the older and sweeter the sugarcane is. In other words, the darker the skin, the better the fruit cane; The redder the red variety, the better. It is best to have a white frosty substance on it.

4. Look at the Sugar Cane Festival.

When selecting sugarcane, we should also look at the number of sugarcane nodes, and choose those with few nodes and uniform distribution. Too many knots will be inconvenient to eat and waste a lot; The uneven distribution of nodes and the uneven thickness of sugarcane indicate that it does not grow well in the growth process and affects the taste.

5. Choose some sugar cane.

If you can only sell the part of sugarcane, of course, you should choose the sugarcane in the middle part, where the taste is the best. Don't choose the sugarcane at the head and tail, either it is not sweet enough or it is very hard.
