Can YOU eat a Sugar Cane?

  
The answer is... YES
Sugar Cane is Good to Eat!
Today in science, Class 306 got to try a raw sugar cane for the first time. 
This was a presentation given by Adeline's mom, Hilary.  
She peeled off the tough skin so that we can chew on the edible part and extract the juice.
 
Before you eat sugar cane, use a sharp knife to cut off at least an inch from each end to remove any dried-out parts. ... 
Next, cut or peel off the outer layer, or “bark.” 
Finally, you can eat your sugar cane by chewing on a small piece to release its flavor.
 
  



Did you know...
Sugar cane juice boosts protein levels in the body, helping it to maintain perfect health of vital organs such as the kidney. Sugar cane juice also acts as a good digestive aid due to the presence of potassium.
