Sugar cane has been an integral part of the south Louisiana economy and culture for more than 200 years. When Jesuit priests first brought sugar cane into south Louisiana in 1751, little did they know that the foundation was being laid for an industry that now contributes $2 billion to the Louisiana economy. Today, Louisiana sugar cane yields range from 30 to 50 tons per acre, with recoveries ranging from 180 to 240 pounds of sugar produced from each ton of cane
Mostly used commercially the stalk can be peeled and use for drinks, skewers , and eating by peeling the stalks ,and chewing (like gum) to release the sweet juice. Lisa

Brings back great memories of the few years I lived in Louisiana and loved visiting the markets and factories where we could buy raw cane 😉
