How to Grow a TON of Sugarcane & Why It's GOOD For You

[@Selfsufficientme]

G'day Everyone, feel free to share your opinion on eating or growing sugarcane below. Thanks for your support! Cheers :)

[@caribbeancharmgardening90]

I live in Trinidad 🇹🇹 (Caribbean) sugar cane loves water….. if you give the sugar cane a lot of water it will grow fatter and softer canes. If shoots as a thin cane it will remain thin (not fatten later) if it shoots fat oooo you are in for a treat. Mother encouraged chewing the canes as it (fibers) cleans your teeth from plague ….. sometime you chew tooo much and your teeth can start to edge (SQUEAKY CLEAN LOL) ….. I can goo onnn and onnn mate… but this comment would be too …. Long (pun intended)

[@MyName-zd9pe]

When I was a kid, my mom bought sugar cane and we chewed on it. Haven't seen it in stores for years.

[@payne7028]

How much $ for you to make a couple starts from your cane stalks and ship to us in US near Niagara Falls NYS??

[@theuncatchablelizard8495]

…or Melbourne 😅

[@amandapittar9398]

lol. I know. I moved to NZ over 30yrs ago. You can stick a twig in the ground here and it will grow. Sugar cane is my next try out!

[@j.l.emerson592]

My dad was a North Texas farm boy. (During the Great Depression) One of their cash crops was sugar cane, or rather the cooked down syrup from sugar cane. His family had a farm that was not irrigated, so they were considered dry land farmers. Their primary cash crops were sugar cane, peanuts & dent corn. The farmers in the local area depended upon itinerant sugar cane processors. They had the equipment to squeeze the juice from the sugar cane crops & the farmers cooked it down into syrup. The guys who squeezed the sugar cane traveled from town to town, processing the sugar cane, taking a share of the finished syrup as payment for their services. The squeezed sugar canes were then fed to the livestock. Nothing was wasted. Then, of course, they had their kitchen garden where they grew crops to feed the family. (Corn, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, beans, squash, etc) They also raised hogs as a cash crop. So, they had hogs, chickens, a couple of milk cows & mules to pull the plow. My siblings & I grew up hearing stories about life on a dry land farm during the Great Depression. No electricity, no running water, no irrigation, etc. My dad was the youngest child. Because of that he never had a new pair of shoes or new clothing until he outgrew his two older brothers & their hand-me-downs at the age of 16. I grew up gnawing on partially peeled sugar cane sticks. It was sold in grocery stores in foot long segments. We considered it quite a treat.

[@lizxu322]

This is a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing. My family also came from a poor farming background 2 generations ago, unfortunately my parents Decided to be city folk and became university professors and doctors. But now I'm going back to my farming roots by growing all kinds of veggies and keeping chickens. Love growing stuff. Plus, it's really good for the soul. And sugar cane is very well known in China too so it'll once again be like a blast from the past for me.

[@j.l.emerson592]

For gardeners who want to grow their own sweeteners but live in a zone that is too cold for sugar cane, they might want to try growing sorghum. Sorghum can be grown in colder climates because they have a shorter 'days to maturity' (life cycle) than sugar cane. Sorghum can be squeezed for the sweet juice that is then cooked down to a syrup. Also, sorghum produces edible seeds that can be ground into a gluten free flour to be used for pancakes & some baked goods & can also be popped like popcorn. Another alternative would be to grow sugar beets. The best beets to use for sugar production are the white beets. They are sweeter & not as earthy tasting as red beets. (Beet root, for you guys from the British Empire...) Another alternative would be to take up bee keeping.

[@WilderDust]

Great tips. Thank you for sharing.

[@GeomancerHT]

Stevia is really easy to grow for anyone interested in a sweetener without calories.

[@TaLeng2023]

​@@GeomancerHTread somewhere that the Japanese process hydrangea flowers to make a naturally sweet tea. Maybe this tea can then be freezedried into a powder sweetener.

[@nancydrew6010]

Is zone 7 in the USA to cold for sugar cane?

[@TheKrispyfort]

I've been trying to source sugar beets. No joy thus far. Stevia leaves are also tasty

[@WillowKexx]

Sugarcane needs care too. To get bigger thicker canes, you remove older or dried leaves further down the canes. You then tie them or stake them to each other so they grow taller. I'm from Papua New Guinea. Over here, we peel the cane with our teeth, bite off chunks, chew and suck the juice out of the cane.

When I was living in India, I was traveling (via train and bus - that is fun!) I was getting sicker, (it was BAD). The bus made a stop at one point to pick up more people (yes, the bus was already full), I looked out the window and a man was handing out Sugar cane juice. I am telling you, it was what my body needed to get itself strong enough till I arrived at my location. sugar cane juice is amazing!!!

[@ss-ib8gm]

@@slingalong Sugar was first cultivated in India , Europeans wanted to reach India due to its products …..they got to know there are grass in India which is sweet . Sugar comes from Sanskrit word sharkara, and candy from Sanskrit word Kalkand crystallized sugar. When they eventually got hands to the knowledge they brought African slaves and indentured labors from India and Asia to grow in other colonies ….free knowledge, free resource , free labor any theif can become rich overnight

[@connorgreen1676]

I also was in India but when I got that sugar cane juice from the side of the road it made me sick and nauseous. That just because it was India and they don’t have cleanliness like we have in the united states

[@tloof2370]

I remember when my dad would buy a small stalk of sugar cane and cut it up for all us girls to try. For those who live in the northern US, there is a variety that can tolerate our climate (to 6a) it is called Saccharum arundinaceum. I am so excited to see if I can find any next spring to start growing it.❤

[@KOKO-uu7yd]

Hey, THANKS!! 😊

[@ermakers1297]

Unfortunately while that variety is technically a sugar cane, it really doesn't really produce any sugar. It is often grown for fiber but has no value for sugar.

I'm from Trinidad but live in California. I grew up eating sugarcane and loved it. Fast forward to present day life in California where we have 2 sugarcane patches successfully growing. Even introduced it to my neighbor and they love it. Thanks for the video highlighting the sugarcane and it's many uses😊

[@russellcrawford4809]

My daddy grew this when I was a boy. He would cut joints of it, peel it and we absolutely loved to chew on it. I helped each year to plant it. Sometimes he would save the eyelets and we would plant those with the shoot facing up, sometimes if he had stalks that were drying up that we hadn't chewed he would make a furrow and lay the entire stalk in it and cover with soil, no need to cut , saving time. Thanks for the video, it certainly took me back 50 years to my childhood in East Texas 😊

We occasionally chewed on raw sugar cane in Fort Lauderdale, Florida when I was a kid- 1970's. We also ate raw coconut - expending more calories to open them than we could possibly consume.

[@ForniCarlos]

It might be worth to mention that some varieties of green sugarcane also have tiny hairs that might get into your skin and be very painful/bothersome so using gloves is a must. I learnt this from my neighbors dad as he used to grow lots of sugarcane for sale. 🙏🏽

[@spacerunner357]

Good to know thanks

[@killabill7136]

Some varieties of bamboo have this like the ones on my property, and they can be very painful if contacted with the skin and face. They are also very hard to get out of clothing as well!

[@dennismaneja1904]

Just chewed a foot long sugar cane stick this afternoon. Brings a lot of memories 35 yrs ago in a rural place in Philippines. The variety we have has bigger stalks and has a purple redish skin. Just plant it a sunny place and it will grow crazy fast...

I'm in the Valley in Az. Where would I purchase sugar cane and will it grow in our high heat? phnx area?

[@jrg4313]

​@teasandtreasures8692 Yes, sugar cane can be grown in Phoenix. From what I understand, sugar cane likes temperatures of 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When temperatures get over 100 degrees F use shade cloths over the sugar cane. I use shade cloth for many plants when temperatures get over 100 degrees F. There is plenty of information on the Internet on how to grow sugar cane in Phoenix ( and other places) and many many sites to buy sugar cane cuttings.

Back in the 50s I lived in Conway, South Carolina. I was an Air Force brat so we did not have a farm, but I had local friends who would bring sugar cane to school. It was quite a treat and a fond memory for me.

[@scrapzwtf]

In the early to mid 60’s I chewed a lot of sugar cane. My uncle grew a small patch of it just for me, and we’d take it home after visiting in the summer. Our local fruit stand sold stalks for 5¢ or 10¢. The downside was this was an outdoor treat because it was messy, and mama wouldn’t always let me take one of her knives out.

My sister in law showed me the plants in her backyard with the poinsettias and lime trees. My other sister in law made a drink with fresh caramel and the sugarcane and milk to sell. That was 100% better than a Starbucks Latte 😅 They also had fresh, unprocessed milk so my sister in law made yogurt everyday w/fresh fruit from the market. ❤ Too much processed stuff here in the city. 😢

Weird. In Europe (& nations they immigrated to) we brew an alcoholic beverage called GRAPPA, made from the waste ingredients from grape production.

As a kid in Florida during the mid 60's & 70's, we would go down to Hollywood FL each winter to see our Gramps & Gram.

There is nothing like fresh Sugar Cane . What Great memories.
