Good Sugar

Here's a healthier way to make and eat sugar: by growing it first at home and juicing it.

O único problema é o perigo de intoxicação acidental pelo "barbeiro", inseto que acaba ficando escondido nas canas e triturado junto, provocando a doença de chagas no infectado. Por isso nunca me interessei em beber tal suco na rua, minha mãe sempre me alertou. Mas uso o açúcar mascavo no dia a dia, é uma opção mais saudável que o açúcar convencional e mais proxima do melaço da cana. 😊👍

Sucrose is a chemical compound of glucose and fructose. So ya, the sugar metabolizes exactly the same. And there's nothing inherently unhealthy with sucrose, just by itself it is caloricly dense while having little nutritional value.

The taste is unbelievable (can also do it with pineapple) If you get a quantity of sugar cane juice you can go on boiling it away to reduce water ... It comes down to a thick paste you can brick it for long term storage or make real brown sugar. The best sugar you can get.

Hi! I'm Indonesian. There's several sugar canes fields in my backyard. When I was a kid, I often stole a couple bars of those canes. I peeled them up and munched them. Good memories.. 😅

In Nigeria we straight peel the sugarcane with our teeth and chewed ok the inner part leaking and sucking the juice then spitting kut the dry remain. It's a very common treat in Northern Nigeria.

[@ItsSweetLew]

Eh. Yes and no. The refining process isolates the carbohydrate on its own, and leaves behind all of the other goodness that the plant can offer. Notice how he stated to consume in moderation. That sticky sweetener he made is just as caloric and sweet as granulated refined sugar, but is probably 1000x more nutritious to our bodies. Would you say the same about a sticky sweetener made from sugar beets? Or cooked maple sap? Sugarcane gets a bad rep

[@repentandturnfromsin]

We do need some amount of sugar to balance electrolytes but I have doubts table sugar has many benefits, if at all.

@SolarCookingGermany Well it's true that the vitamins and antioxidants in the fruits help preventing cancer. The sugar cane probably have them too, but yes, the problem is that it seems like that he's giving the property to the sugar he processed. And of course, drinking sugarcane juice may help cancer prevention, but worsen other conditions because of the sugar. It's the same thing of red wine. The risks outweigh the benefits.

I love the part where you made up the part about him bragging about it not being processed. He just said it was healthier than refined sugar. And the last part, if you want to preserve it, is just reducing it. Not adding anything or decolorizeing it like your store bought refined sugar
