Medicinal Uses of Sugar Cane

It is a widely used natural sweetener and its sugar is similar to that produced by sugar beets.

Sugarcane is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries for the sugar it contains in the stems, which are formed by numerous nodes, usually reaching between 3 and 6 m in height and a diameter of between 2 and 6 cm. Cultivated varieties differ in color and height.

Since ancient times it has been cultivated by cuttings; some varieties do not produce fertile seeds. In tropical regions, the growing period is usually between 12 to 18 months, and the crop is harvested between January and August.
