Method of purchasing sugar cane

1. Look at the thickness: the thicker the sugar cane, the sweeter it is, and the thinner it is, the better. Instead, choose sugar cane with moderate thickness. Because sugar cane, which is generally too thick, is likely to be eaten by hollow worms, and its taste is not so sweet. If it is too fine, there will be less pulp and less juice!

2, look at the skin: high-quality fresh sugarcane, its skin color is deep purple, shiny. If the skin color of sugarcane is light, it may not be ripe and will taste astringent. And the more frost on the surface, the better the quality of sugarcane.

3, look straight: try to choose a relatively straight, straight-shaped sugarcane, which grows better in the growth process, while the twisted and grotesque sugarcane is likely to have a bug mouth and the taste will not be too sweet.
