Does sugar cane have any nutrition?

Sugarcane is quite different from other fruits. We prefer the juice in sugar cane. Generally, after chewing the sugarcane juice dry, we will spit out a mass of dietary fiber in sugarcane. It can be said that sugar cane is born to give us its sweet juice, and the key point of eating sugar cane is to drink the sweet water in it. Sugarcane is rich in sugar, so the sucrose in our usual seasoning is actually made of concentrated sugarcane juice. Sugarcane juice is rich in sugar, a little protein and fat, and sugarcane is rich in dietary fiber. Generally speaking, although sugarcane is not as rich as other fruits, its sugar content is definitely beyond the standard.

Sugarcane juice contains a certain amount of minerals, such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, calcium and so on. , but it may be slightly inferior to other fruits. Other trace elements, such as manganese, copper and selenium. There is no shortage of them. Although the content is not much, the variety is still complete. Sugarcane contains some vitamin A, a small amount of vitamin C and a very small amount of vitamin B. Although there are not many protein in sugarcane, it is rich in amino acids and can provide a variety of substances beneficial to human body.

Many friends ask, is it still interesting to eat sugar cane? Not much nutrition, but more sugar. If you eat sugar cane with your mouth open, that's really bad. Sugar cane is rich in sugar. Eating too much sucrose and glucose will adversely affect blood sugar, while eating too much sugar may increase the chance of fat accumulation, so I personally don't recommend eating too much sugar cane at one time. However, sugarcane juice is sweet and delicious. Drinking sugarcane juice properly can quench your thirst, and there is nothing wrong with it. Sugar in sugarcane is easily absorbed and utilized, so it can quickly replenish physical strength and relieve fatigue. For example, if you go hiking, you can drink sugarcane juice when you are tired, which can quickly replenish your physical strength, relieve cough and promote fluid production, and make your trip more enjoyable.

Many people think that sugar cane can enrich blood, which is really different. Sugarcane contains less iron and cannot be supplemented with iron. We can only judge from its efficacy in traditional medicine. The taste is sweet, and generally sweet food can benefit the spleen and stomach. Sugarcane can enter the spleen, regulate the spleen and stomach, reduce qi and stomach. People's spleen and stomach transport smoothly, and their natural nutrient absorption capacity increases, which also contributes to the abundance of qi and blood. Indeed, many postpartum women often drink sugarcane juice, which actually has a certain effect on restoring postpartum deficiency, but it is not recommended to drink too much. After all, there is too much sugar, and pregnant mothers should also have a balanced nutrition, which is not suitable for eating too much sugar.

The general population is suitable for eating sugar cane, but the dietary fiber of sugar cane is more, and the fiber is sharp and hard, which may puncture the oral mucosa and cause oral pain. Therefore, when eating sugar cane, you can tear it open with tools and eat it. Don't chew it with your mouth for a long time, otherwise it may cause oral pain. In addition, sugar cane juice is slightly cold, although it can quench thirst, but friends with stomach deficiency and fear of cold may feel uncomfortable, so it is not recommended to drink more.

The main varieties of sugarcane in China are bamboo cane, reed cane and oil cane.

The variety of sugarcane we eat in our hometown is reed sugarcane (we call it sweet sugarcane). When it comes to sugar cane, we think of the scene when friends scrambled to eat sugar cane (sweet sugar cane) together when we were young. It is fresh and sweet, mellow in taste, with rock sugar and chewy juice. It is our main snack in winter. Although our mouths and hands often bleed from eating sugar cane, this does not stop our desire to eat. ...

Sugarcane is mostly used for direct sugar production or raw food, and its nutritional value is also high.

Sugarcane is not only rich in vitamins and unique in flavor, but also has many medicinal values. It is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that fruit cane can help temper, benefit the large intestine, diminish inflammation, quench thirst, relieve alcohol toxicity and so on, and is mainly used to reduce qi and regulate middle energizer.

Sugarcane not only contains high sugar content, but also contains a variety of amino acids. Every liter of sugarcane juice contains 464. 1mg of free amino acids, of which 10 amino acids necessary for human body account for 49.5% of the total.

Compared with other fruits, sugarcane has another advantage, that is, it uses less pesticides, and generally does not use pesticides in the middle and late stages.

So what kind of sugarcane is of high quality?

Sugarcane with thin skin, tender stems, crisp and easy to break, full tissue, no hollow and cotton core, chewed into pieces at the entrance, no salty and sour taste, high water content, high sugar content and low cellulose content has good quality.

Cellulose is small and fine, so it is crisp and refreshing to chew, and bagasse is not fragile after chewing.

Tips:

In order to facilitate sales, many merchants cut off the roots and tips of sugarcane and put them on the market after peeling. On the one hand, it greatly reduces the sugarcane garbage entering the city, on the other hand, it is convenient for consumers to buy, carry and eat. However, peeled sugarcane is difficult to keep fresh, and it will be dehydrated, discolored and moldy after peeling for 3 days. Pay attention when buying.

Speaking of sugar cane, many friends may start to salivate. Sugarcane is sweet and delicious, without sour taste. The juice of sugarcane is sweeter than many fruits. It is precisely because of the high sugar content of sugarcane that it has basically no sour taste. Sugarcane is also the source of sucrose, and white sugarcane that we usually add seasoning is the most important source.

Sugarcane is rich in sugar, so we usually eat sugarcane and only chew the juice inside, because sugarcane contains a lot of dietary fiber, which is hard and not suitable for eating, so we usually drink sugarcane juice when eating sugarcane. Sugarcane is rich in sugar, which is beneficial to digestion and absorption. Therefore, sugarcane can replenish abundant energy for us in a short time, which is very effective in relieving physical exhaustion, fatigue and physical weakness. Sugarcane is also called "blood-enriching fruit" because the iron content in sugarcane is relatively high compared with many fruits, and it can reach 9 mg per kilogram. It is true that sugar cane contains a high amount of iron in fruits, but we usually can't rely on sugar cane to supplement iron because of iron deficiency anemia. Iron in sugarcane is dwarfed by iron in animal food. First, the iron content is not high enough to supplement iron in time. Second, the iron in plant food belongs to non-heme iron. The absorption rate is low, and it is also hindered by the absorption of phytic acid and tannic acid. The absorption rate is low, only about 5~ 15%, so sugarcane can only be used as an auxiliary iron supplement food.

Sugar cane juice also contains many minerals, such as rich potassium, rich phosphorus, calcium and other elements. Sugarcane contains a lot of cellulose. When we chew sugar cane, we can make these fibers rub our teeth repeatedly, and we can also remove the residual dirt in our mouth, clean our teeth and prevent dental caries. It takes a lot of effort to tear off sugar cane and chew it if you don't handle it with tools carefully. This process can also exercise masseter muscles and activate facial muscles, which is very effective in maintaining the elasticity of facial muscles, delaying aging and preventing wrinkles.

Sugarcane can enter the lung and stomach, which is effective for stomach heat vomiting and constipation, can strengthen the spleen and stomach, relieve cough and promote fluid production, and has a good conditioning effect on dry mouth and tongue symptoms. Some friends think that eating too much sugar cane will get angry. In fact, this is because the dietary fiber of sugarcane is particularly thick and hard, which may damage the mucosal tissue in the process of rubbing against the oral mucosa, so the tongue and oral wall blister, but the oral cavity is very elastic and can recover immediately after gargling.

Sugarcane is delicious and sweet, but it's best not to eat too much. People with stomach deficiency who are afraid of cold should eat as little as possible, which may cause diarrhea and so on. Sugarcane has a high sugar content, and friends with hyperglycemia, diabetes and obesity should stop.

Sugarcane is the most common fruit in the street in autumn and winter. Its sweetness is slightly higher than other fruits in this season, and the eating process is more complicated than other fruits. But now with the juicer, you can eat it conveniently. There are also many rumors about sugar cane. The most widely circulated is that "sugarcane has high iron content and can supplement iron", so many women expect to drink more sugarcane juice to achieve the purpose of supplementing iron. Is that really the case? What is the nutritional value?

Sugarcane juice is sweet and nutritious and is called the best fruit. Others said: "Sugarcane has competed in autumn." Sugarcane has high nutritional value. It contains more water, accounting for 84% of sugarcane. Sugarcane has the richest sugar content, of which sucrose, glucose and fructose account for 12%. In addition, through scientific analysis, sugarcane also contains other substances needed by human body, such as protein 0.4g, calcium 14mg and iron 0.4mg.. In addition, sugarcane also contains amino acids beneficial to human body, such as aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine and alanine, as well as vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6 and vitamin C. The iron content of sugarcane is relatively high among all kinds of fruits. Having said that, it should be emphasized that plant iron can't be well absorbed and utilized by human body. Although the content is high, the utilization rate of being directly absorbed by the human body is extremely low. Even if you drink sugar cane juice to supplement iron every day, I believe that iron may not be able to supplement it, because the sugar content is high and it is appropriate to gain weight.

It is worth noting that after sugarcane is placed for a period of time, red bloodshot or reddish-brown spots will appear, which is actually contaminated by bacteria after a long time. At this time, sugarcane can no longer be eaten, including if the sugarcane is bitten open and the sugarcane heart is found to be moldy or discolored, indicating that the sugarcane is infected with mold during its growth, which is toxic and harmful to the body. Therefore, you should choose fresh sugar cane when shopping. After peeling, the pulp is white, dense in texture and rich in juice. At the same time, we should pay attention to eating as soon as possible to avoid long-term storage.

Special attention should be paid to: spoiled sugarcane can not be eaten, otherwise it may cause a series of poisoning symptoms such as vomiting, convulsions and coma, resulting in damage to the optic nerve or central nervous system.

Maybe the conditions were bad when I was a child. Every summer, people in the streets of Northeast China also pick sugar cane for sale here. Mom told me that this kind of sugarcane from the south is inedible, and it will give you hepatitis A or hepatitis B, so I stay away from this kind of sugarcane.

Later, when I grew up, I didn't think what my mother said was right. All the sugar in our society is extracted from sugarcane. It is much more than the sweet stalk stuffing planted in the northeast. So now I have a new understanding of sugarcane. Sugarcane juice is sweet and nutritious, and is called the best fruit. Others say that sugar cane has been competing in autumn.

Sugarcane has high nutritional value. It contains more than 84% water. Sugarcane has the richest sugar content, including sucrose, glucose, protein, calcium, iron and other elements.

Sugarcane is really a good choice as a fruit, and it is also good to eat in season.

However, because sugarcane contains a lot of sugar,100g carbohydrate, which is relatively high, sucrose can be easily converted into glucose in human body, so it is really not recommended for people who love sugar. The general population should also control the amount and not be greedy, otherwise it will easily lead to heat accumulation.

To sum up, sugarcane is a good fruit choice. Not many people think that eating sugarcane is equivalent to drinking sugar water, and there is no other nutrition. Sugarcane, as a fruit, has the same nutritional value. Like to eat, eat when you should, but don't be greedy. Sugarcane is difficult to chew and can be squeezed into juice by machine when eating.
