Sugarcane offers benefits like providing quick energy, hydration, and essential minerals (calcium, potassium, iron). Its antioxidants support immunity, liver health, and may fight chronic diseases, while natural AHAs improve skin, and its diuretic properties aid kidney function. It's a natural source of vitamins and minerals, promoting digestion and oral health, but should be consumed in moderation due to sugar content, though it's better than refined sugar.
Culinary suggestions...
First peel the tough outer stalk with a knife or by biting it, then chew small pieces to extract the sweet juice, spitting out the fibrous pulp as you go, similar to chewing tough, sweet celery. It's a snack enjoyed in many cultures, providing fresh, sweet flavor, but you only consume the juice, not the woody fiber.
