{"product_id":"ganzhe","title":"Sugar Cane","description":"\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSugar Cane is the towering, sweet grass that fueled empires and remains the world's primary source of natural sugar. This fast-growing perennial forms imposing clumps of tall, jointed stalks that range in color from green to deep burgundy. While commercially processed into sugar, in the home garden it offers the unparalleled pleasure of chewing fresh, juicy stalks for a burst of sweet, grassy nectar or pressing your own fresh, unrefined cane juice. It's a striking architectural plant that brings a taste of the tropics and a piece of agricultural history to any warm, sunny garden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprimary commercial source of sucrose (table sugar)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, but in the garden, it's grown for fresh chewing and juicing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eForms dense clumps of tall, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethick, jointed stalks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e that can be green, yellow, purple, or striped.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA fast-growing, sun-loving \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003egiant perennial grass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e that can reach over 10 feet in a single season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStalks are filled with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003esweet, fibrous, juicy pith\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e that can be chewed to extract the juice or pressed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrefers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003elong, hot, humid growing seasons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and consistent moisture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrown from sections of stalk (\"seed cane\"), not true seeds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGarden \u0026amp; Use Profile:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pure, clean sweetness with a fresh, vegetal note when chewed or juiced fresh.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTexture:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Extremely fibrous and hard; the goal is to crush or chew it to release the sweet juice inside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest Uses:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFresh:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Chewing on peeled stalk segments for refreshment. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJuicing:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pressing to make fresh, unprocessed sugarcane juice, a popular tropical drink. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrnamental:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e As a dramatic, fast-growing screen or background plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Victory Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":43447700127832,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 Gallon","offer_id":43447700160600,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8000\/6232\/files\/Sugar_Cane_1.jpg?v=1775432296","url":"https:\/\/victorynursery.us\/products\/ganzhe","provider":"Victory Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
