What season is sugarcane in?

We eat sugarcane mainly to chew the sugar in the stem of sugarcane, so the sugar accumulation of sugarcane is very important. Sugar cane is a kind of winter fruit, which is usually harvested around October and can be eaten until March or April of the following year.

However, now the technology is gradually developing, so sugar cane can now be eaten all the year round. Now the greenhouse technology is developed, which can control the temperature and humidity of plant growth; and the deep processing of food is also developing constantly, and sugarcane is made into a variety of secondary processed food. packaging technology and developed logistics can make people can eat sugarcane whenever they want, so that crops have no so-called seasonality.

Sugarcane is a cold fruit, which is rich in vitamins, sugar, trace elements and, of course, a lot of crude fiber, which can clear away heat and detoxify, nourish yin and moisten dryness, so it is very suitable for consumption in dry season.

Sugarcane is not only a good fruit in winter, but also a good medicine for disease prevention and fitness. According to traditional Chinese medicine, sugarcane tastes sweet cold, sweet can nourish blood, cold can clear heat and nourish fluid, so it has the function of nourishing and moistening dryness, which is suitable for hypoglycemia, heart weakness, insufficient body fluid, sore throat, dry stool, deficiency-heat cough and other diseases. People often use 50 grams of sugarcane juice and 50 grams of wine, mixed in the morning and evening, which has a good effect on the treatment of chronic gastritis and nausea vomiting.

When will the sugarcane mature

Sugarcane is an annual crop. It begins to be planted in February and harvested in November. It takes nine months to grow to 2.6 meters high. Generally, the weight of each sugarcane is about 6-7 jin, and some will have 8-9 jin. The best time to eat sugarcane is in winter. After the autumn climate is dry, the north wind blows; the water in the sugar cane evaporates a lot, so the sugar cane is the sweetest in winter.

The sugarcane we usually eat in Guangxi is generally freshly cut. Sugarcane can not be refrigerated like apples in the freezer. It will become moldy if it is cut down and put in the freezer for a period of time, even if you put it in the freezer. This is a difficult problem that cannot be solved at present! That's why we usually can't eat sugarcane!
