I wouldn't say there are "benefits" from chewing raw sugar cane.
But it is healthier then processed sugar you buy at the store.
Make sure the sugar cane is free of "hard crystals".
Hard crystals are a mineral usually found in raw sugar canes that is usually cause
when rotting pieces of sugar clump together.
They can be harmful to the kidneys.
:D But otherwise its not that bad...
I love sugar but I don't know if I would want to eat it raw.

Real cane sugar comes from the sugarcane plant and is a natural sweetener, while fake cane sugar is an artificial sweetener made in a laboratory. Real cane sugar retains some of the natural nutrients found in sugarcane, whereas fake cane sugar is usually processed to create a sugar substitute without any nutritional value. Additionally, real cane sugar is regulated by the FDA, while fake cane sugar may be a blend of different artificial sweeteners.
Caning is a form of punishment by whipping, using a cane.
yes. many
Sugar cane is like bamboo but it is golden green and really good! But be careful you have to cut the top off before consuming. You can get it from any store really. If you have a Winco where you live, they may have them when sugar cane is mostly produced.
Not really. Some people even claim that cane is healthier than beet sugar. By the time they are fully refined into the white granular material that you see bagged in the marketplace, neither is anything more than just sucrose with all of the possibly healthy components removed.
I think you refer to 'sugar beet' it is not any type of cane. It is a root crop with a tap root similar to beetroot. It is grown in cooler climates for sugar production.
Substance, all sugars are compounds. C6H12O6 is Table sugar.
Sugar is made from sugar cane, corn, or fruit. No animal products or byproducts are involved.
Precipitation is used in the sugar industry to aid in the extraction of sucrose from sugar cane. Lime and carbon dioxide are added to the sugar cane juice to form calcium carbonate, which then reacts with impurities and forms a precipitate. This precipitate helps to remove impurities, allowing for the separation of sucrose from the sugar cane juice.
Yes, you can substitute white granulated sugar for cane sugar, since most sugars do come from cane. The important thing is to use granulated (not powdered), and to use white if that's what's called for, and to use brown sugar if that's what's called for.
Rum is typically made from molasses and/or sugarcane juice.
By definition, a mineral is a solid inorganic substance of natural occurrence. Cane sugar is an organic substance, derived from sugarcane (a plant). It is sucrose: a disaccharide, formed organically from two monosaccharides - glucose and fructose. Therefore, cane sugar, as well as any other type of sugar, does not meet the definition of a mineral.
