Chewing raw sugarcane to extract the juice from it is full of fun. It reminds me of my childhood. We used to have sugarcane during summer to have instant refreshments. Those days are long gone, now we have soda, cola, and whatnot. But nothing can beat the taste of fresh sugarcane.

The juice is so fresh and sweet, it gives a whole new experience in our mouth every single time. No need to say that chewing raw sugarcane juice is better than having a glass of sugarcane juice or any soda.

If you don't have the experience then let me share more!

Here in Bangladesh, during Summer, you will get to see a lot of sugarcane van/street carts here and there. Also, there are many sugarcane juice sellers/street vendors who use a press machine to extract fresh juice from sugarcane. Those instant juice are also quite good. They don't need any added ingredients, raw instant juice from the cane and you can have a glass of fresh sweet drink.

As we produce a good amount of sugarcane for sugar production in our country, so sugarcane is not a rare thing.

If you ask the seller, they will cut and clean the cane so you can take a bite. You need to use your teeth or any knife to get rid of the hard shell of the cane first. We prefer teeth!

From our childhood sugarcane was part of our food/culture, our elders used to say using teeth to peel sugarcane not only helps to strengthen our teeth but also it's a natural tooth cleaner. Also, it is a natural remedy to get rid of hepatitis or any kind of liver disease. So we get to learn how to use our teeth to peel off the cane, piece them and chew them to extract the juice.

I bought two sugarcane sticks for only $1. Then brought it back home and start to peel it off. My son was quite surprised seeing the process for the first time. I cut them into small pieces with my teeth and gave him to try it. It was a fun experience.

I couldn't remember when was the last time I had sugarcane, before this experience. The cane was so juicy and sweet, it was a wonderfully fresh experience.

If you don't have this ever, I would suggest you have sugarcane like this, peel them, piece them to chew with your teeth. It will be a whole new experience and if you are crazy about all the earthly experience then I bet you will love it.

Have a good day everyone.

Me encanta el jugo de caña de azúcar y también me recuerda mi niñez, específicamente en Puerto Cabello (Venezuela) donde mis tíos tienen sembradíos que incluyen la caña.
Siempre pedíamos que nos buscaran para disfrutarla recién cortada y también tenían la maquina para pasar la caña y sacar el jugo.

That's a great experience, I bet.
In my grandparent's house they also had a press machine. Also, they used to make Jaggery from fresh cane juice. It was so fun to see the porocess.
Thanks for sharing your experience, have a good day.

This brings me nostalgic memories of yesterday (when I was in grade three to be exact), there's a vendor just beside the gate of my school back then and he sells sugar cane. I always bought one whenever I go home that time.

That time, we used to have a lot of sugarcane, more often.
But now, our teeth got week, we got so many other food and forget about the most simple snack/enjoyment/refreshment of our childhood.
This is what always happen.
Thanks for sharing your memory. Have a good day.

I love sugarcane like that! We don't grow it in too many places in the United States, only Florida, Louisianna, and Texas but, have always gotten it when we traveled there. It is a wonderful experience and I still get a small piece when I can. There is nothing like the experience. :))

I am so glad you shared your experience and gave the tip on using the teeth. I don't think I ever used a knife! But, my sister does. This is such a fun post! I never saw this, I am not sure why! My apologies and I upvoted and reposted it!

#MarketFriday has evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages. Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? These are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue.

Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:


Rules of the Road to Join #MarketFriday!

  1. Go to the market, or anywhere that you pay money for a service.
    Take pictures! Be creative!
  2. Tell us a little bit about the market or the event. What brought you there? What did you buy? How much did it cost?
  3. Post the picture(s) Of course, you should tell a little bit about the ones you post
  4. Use the MarketFriday Community Platform to post #hive-196308 (this is not required, but appreciated)
    5. Drop the link into the MarketFriday comment section so I can find it
  5. Following me and reblogging the post so more see it would be appreciated !! Not a rule, just appreciated, more vision for more views on your posts!
    7. You must put #MarketFriday by @dswigle somewhere on your post. If you don't and someone reads it, there is nothing to tie #MarketFriday to that post.
  6. Please only one post each week. Believe it not, I run out of voting power if you put in many more than that.

As always, please remember! #MarketFriday loves you!

Great to know you have this raw experience.
Nowadays, as everything is readymade and instant, kids get pretty surprised seeing something like this. I happily introduced this to my son.
No apology necessary. Your words always means a lot to me.
Love #MarketFriday
