Sugarcane

There is hardly anyone who is not aware of what cane sugar actually is because it is the mostly commonly used sweetener in our lives. The common sugar we consume which is in the crystallized, powdered as well as cube form is basically cane sugar.
Despite all the bad press about sugar, cane is actually good for you. It is the refining process which makes this delectable grain unhealthy.

Sugar cane is a tall grass which looks rather like a bamboo cane. Some forms grow up to 6 metres tall. The thicker stemmed forms are commonly known as 'thick' or 'noble' canes because of their tall, handsome and colourful stems.

Global leaders are searching for clean, renewable options to provide energy and reduce petroleum use. Sugarcane has emerged as an important alternative for meeting those needs. This powerful plant is grown in more than 100 countries and holds the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, diversify energy supplies and create jobs.

Whenever possible buy raw cane sugar and avoid white granulated sugars.
