Do You Know the Many Uses of Sugarcane？

Sugarcane is a temperate and tropical crop that brings sweet enjoyment to eaters. There are more than 100 countries producing sugarcane in the world, and the largest sugarcane-producing countries are Brazil, India and China. In fact, sugarcane is not only a delicious food, it also has a variety of functions, such as enriching the human diet and improving the earth's ecological environment.

  Various food functions
Sugarcane is a beneficial fruit for iron supplementation. It is also rich in dietary fiber. Every 100 grams of sugarcane contains 0.6g of dietary fiber, which is the highest fiber content among edible fruit fibers. In addition, sugarcane juice can also relieve alcoholism. Food processors use it to make sugar, harvest sucrose, and molasses. Other sugarcane products include molasses, rum, and cachaça, and the plant itself is used as livestock feed.

Environmental guardians of the earth
During the growth of sugarcane, it not only absorbs some minerals in the soil but also absorbs a large amount of carbon dioxide in the air. Research by ecologists has found that sugarcane absorbs more than twice as much carbon dioxide from the air as rice every day. At the same time, sugarcane can also absorb carbon dioxide produced by its own respiration and release oxygen at the same time, which plays an important role in reducing greenhouse gases in the air.

  Become the raw material of tableware

The by-product of sugarcane processing is bagasse. From the perspective of green chemistry, bagasse is a renewable resource with a wide range of sources, low prices, and biodegradability. They are capable of making paper products, paper packaging products, textiles and even cups, bowls and sugarcane lids. As a natural fiber product, sugarcane lids not only biodegrade within 30-90 days but also provide natural ingredients to the environment. Used by millions of people every day, paper cup lids are essential for enjoying beverages on the go.
