This kind of fruit is shaped like a bamboo. It is becoming more and more rare to eat every day 30 years ago.

Growing up in the countryside when I was a child, in autumn, I would go to the fields to break corn and roast it, or dig sweet potatoes to eat. These are infinite childhood fun for children growing up in the countryside. Autumn happens to be when the weather is neither cold nor hot, parents go to work in the field, we children in the field pondering what to eat, it is extremely naughty. Today, I will introduce to you a kind of fruit that we often ate when we were young, that is, more than 30 years ago. It is bamboo cane.

Bamboo cane belongs to a kind of sugar cane. The sugar cane we usually see is purple skin, and the cane stalk is thicker; bamboo cane is actually a kind of green sugarcane, and the cane stalk is thinner. At first glance, the green one still thinks it is bamboo. When I was a child, I often saw bamboo cane in our countryside. When the bamboo cane matured, I could really eat it every day. At that time, when we wanted to eat it, we would cut one in the field to eat it. It was fresh and delicious. In addition to being thinner and harder, the bamboo cane was still sweet.

The sugar content of bamboo cane is very high, so it tastes no worse than sugar cane. In the past, farmers planted bamboo cane because bamboo cane was particularly adaptable. If there was a piece of land that was very barren, crops might not grow well. In order to prevent weeds from growing on this land, farmers would plant bamboo cane. At that time, bamboo cane could also be processed into feed for livestock at home. In fact, bamboo cane still has great commercial value. It is the main raw material for making sucrose in the south. Some processing residues of bamboo cane can also be used as raw materials for papermaking. Bamboo cane is rich in fiber, which can also be used as raw materials for some industrial products.

However, with the progress and development of society, fewer and fewer farmers are planting bamboo cane now. Up to now, bamboo cane has basically not been seen. Many people have only seen purple-skinned sugar cane, but not green-skinned sugar cane. Only in the south, near some old sugar mills, is it still grown. This kind of bamboo cane that can grow on barren land can be regarded as eating every day when we were children more than 30 years ago, but now we can no longer see the shadow of bamboo cane. Can you still see it now?
