THE BACKSTORY OF SUGARCANE
THE ORIGIN
Sugarcane is a tropical grass that’s been cultivated for thousands of years.
Its roots trace back to New Guinea, where it was first domesticated over 5000 years ago, eventually spreading across South Asia, China, the Middle East, and the Americas through trade and migration.
THE CULTIVATION
PREPPING THE FIELD
The journey starts with rich, well-leveled soil. Farmers plow and prep the land for drainage, root development, and optimal growth conditions.
PLANTING SETTS
Sugarcane doesn’t grow from seeds—instead, mature cane stalks are cut into pieces called setts and laid into trenches. Each sett contains nodes that sprout into new plants.
Letting It Grow
Over the course of 10–16 months, those little sprouts shoot up into strong, towering green stalks—sometimes up to 20 feet tall—filling with naturally sweet juice.
Harvest Time
Once mature, the cane is harvested and quickly transported to the mill (ideally within 24–48 hours) to preserve juice quality for cold pressing and bottling.
THE TRADITION
Sugarcane juice isn’t just a drink—it’s a global ritual. It's sold fresh on street corners, blended with spices, and shared among friends in warm, sun-filled places.
SOUTHEAST ASIA
Often sold by street vendors and pressed fresh to order—sometimes with a squeeze of lime or calamansi.
SOUTH ASIA
Known as ganne ka ras, sugarcane juice is commonly mixed with ginger, lemon, mint, black salt, or cumin for added flavor and wellness benefits.
NORTH AFRICA
Served chilled in juice shops, typically plain and sweet.
LATIN AMERICA
Sipped cold or used as a mixer in tropical drinks, with cane juice often pressed at local markets or festivals - sometimes frozen into paletas (popsicles).
