This video is mostly about eating and drinking sugar cane not so much about growing it.

Cut off all the bark with a knife ....chew the interior

I've been wanting to grow sugarcane in zone 7b for 2 years now. I'll give it some real effort now.

I live in Redmond, Wa, zone 8b and I’m going to attempt to overwinter my purple sugarcane. It’s so exciting experimenting with overwintering tropicals!!!

We have sugercane farms In Pakistan, sugercane grows everywhere in Pakistan, we live in swat buner kpk Pakistan, it gets very cold and snow here alot,we have no problem growing sugercane here.

Yeah you might wanna be careful with the straw. The hay and straw growers are using a lot of grazon these days and if your straw came from a field treated with it then your bales will have it. If that gets into your garden it won't stop your seeds from germinating but the damage to the plants will manifest around the 2nd or 3rd set of leaves. The plants will be stunted and unproductive and the residual lasts for years.

I’m from Louisiana. And I’ll say that the first thing you do is peel the skin off of the cane. Then chew and suck the juice out of it. It will make it easier on your juicer too if you go that route.

Split it and boil it. Also if you split it then boil it, then add a little sugar it'll all crystallize for homemade sugar

Get more fruits and make a mexican fruit punch, sugar cane is easier to chew after boiled and it will absorb the other fruits flavor. The most traditional is to use dried plum, guava, tejocote, apple, hibiscus flower (jamaica), cinnamon sticks, and the sugar cane. Boil that in water with piloncillo or brown sugar for a while and serve it in cups, with a spoon to eat the fruit. You can also put some Brandy on it.

Wow can't believe you can grow cane in your zone, that's awesome! I recommend peeling the cane before chewing it. And get a manual sugar cane press, it's a lot less work than a juicer

Nice I grow a few varieties here in South Carolina. Every 3 years you should replant sugarcane ration clump.

Thank you for your videos about growing sugarcanes in zone 7A. I am planting mines this year for the 1st time. I plant them in pots and will bring them inside during winter.

‘Sucking cane ‘ is a fun pastime all Caribbean kids know .l

You need to a roll press juicer for cane.

update???

1:36 in. I clicked on your video for info but I didn't realize that you had no idea you were going to make a video cause if you knew you would have been ready. But I'm still here waiting for the next surprise. So put your phone down and tomorrow will be fine. 😊

Oh wow, why did it not occur to me to put a bale of straw over it? That’s how my neighbor grows a banana tree! Zone 7a Thank you for sharing! Also, have you ever thought about growing sweet sorghum? It is fully cold hardy and has sweet canes like sugar cane but I haven’t tried it yet.

Lmao, my grand parents used to press the sugar out of our sugar cane and make Cane syrup out of it....and as a kid, I used to cut a chunk of cane and chew on it .... You can also press it, and dry it out and get pure cane sugar..... its the same you buy in the store minus the bleaching

Next video from him will be how to have a root canal without novacane

The purple variety is softer for chewing.

Where can I get some when should it be planted??? Not much information on how to start it ?????

All thanks to you listing it on your spreadsheet last year, I got some delicious red sugar cane this year. Got all the nodes rooting right now, I need more next year XD I'm not a drinker and I have a different kind of sugar cane so I dunno how yours tastes, but regarding your drinks, I personally thought it would go quite well with coconut or pineapple. Some kind of daiquiri or colada maybe..? I also imagine there are some wines and sakes that would go well with a cube of cane

Does it mature adequately to produce sugar? I'm concerned the warm season may be a bit too short for it to fully mature/produce.

You need to peel the outer skin/layer before chewing. Probably figure it out since this is 3 years old

Stevia, yacon and sugar beets are good to grow too in cold climates

The darker red variety is more porous and easier to chew compared to the green variety.

Thanks for the info, Ross! I can’t wait to try this!!

Health Benefits of Sugarcane Juice: The antioxidants in sugarcane juice help to fighting against infections and boost the immunity system of the body. Sugarcane juice also acts a good digestive aid due to the presence of potassium. Studies show that sugarcane juice protects against tooth decay and bad breath due to its high mineral content.

Just Ron, smash mint, and lime juice delicious Plus when you will start planting your fig on the soil. Don’t be afraid, just cover each one for the 3 first year after that they will handle well. Plus after the plant done fruiting and collected, collect the leaf, to make infusion for people with diabetics.

You can actually ferment the juice into alcohol. In the Hispanic Americas it's called guarapo

I live just north of Toronto. I have been looking up sugarcane production and I came across your video and about 4:29 you show how dark the sugarcane liquid is. I saw on another video that from the sugarcane Leaves or the outside of the Kane was boiled down and the extract from it is molasses. That is why it’s a dark brown color. I think I am zone 5b or 5a and if I can’t grow sugarcane outside I will try it as a house plant thanks for the video❤

Did this come back this year? I’ve watched a bunch of vids but must have missed a 2020 sugar cane video..

Makes me wonder why farms grow corn for syrup when they can easily grow sugar cane.

So has it come back every year? Thanks

Do you still grow this?

What growing zone are you in? Do you put thick layer of hay over the cane before trapping for winterizing?

Hi seems amazing, I gotta try it - just a quick thought about the juicing process. Wouldnt you be able to put the whole canes into big bags, with emptied out air so it has a lot of room to expand if needed, and then with ur car slowly drive back and forth over it, without making the bags pop and then filter the juices?

I'm from The Virgin Islands it's good.

I love sugar cane so much

Try trimming off the outer cane if you are using a juicer. The outside is too tough to put through a juicer.

What’s the best soil for these to grow in ? I have clay soil and raised beds with potting soil . Thanks !

Next time press it with a slice of lime or lemon

where can I buy cuttings

can be grown 16-?

What are some other tropical/sub tropical edible plants that can be cut at the base and covered for the winter, and still produce in the summer? I’m considering growing an in-ground garden like this in zone 6.

purple cane better to eat..you can grow lemon grass that way also and both mix well together

What type of sugar cane do you grow??

Brown sugar?

Nothing about growing cane in a colder climate?

caipirinha cachaca rum, try sugar cane or sugar from brasil (refined or black sugar works)

Maybe you can cook it down instead of juicing it? Have no experience with sugercane though

where did you get your sugar cane from? was it local or did you buy it online. I was able to cut it and put it in a cup and have it root for weeks but it didn't grow and I haven't attempted to try again since then.

Thanks for sharing!!!

A Machete will make it easier before you chew away or juice away......Easier at getting to the "Guarapo".

Try to add strawberry to the mix

Did your sugarcane grow? We are in 7a Annapolis, Md

wrong kind of juicer. try a masticating juicer like omega. cut into thin toothpick strips and feed slowly.

First u take out the outer layer, peel it than eat it

U need a press

Try cutting it into ribbons

Peel the outer bark of the sugar cane with a knife. Then chew the center.

Thats not how you juice sugar cane also you can justus a sharp knife.

Where can I buy some sugar cane for cold climate in Europe?

Where do you buy the sugar cane plants ? Thanks !

BRUH zone 7A is HARDLY a cold climate. "lives in zone 3a tries to look up cold climate" gets places that hardly has a winter... FALSE ADVERTISING

Juicing it is doing it the hard way..... buy a press instead..... far easier

smiling from Alaska that you consider zone 7a "cold"... its practically tropical to us :P great video

oh damn... PLEASE get rid of the skin before you put in the juicer, add 1 orange or 3 kumquats. It will taste super good! dont put ginger. Ginger will ruin the taste and the smell of the sugar cane. Sugar cane is like any fruits, when it turns dark/purple/black then you know it's ready.

It wasn't ripe, give it a little more time

Repent of sin and trust in Jesus! Time is short!

who got the sugar cane cuttings?

What’s the best soil for these to grow in ? I have clay soil and raised beds with potting soil . Thanks !
