Question

what is sugarcane explain in two paragraphs

Answer 1

sugarcane is a type of crop.Sugarcane, or sugar cane, are several species of tall perennial true grasses of the genus Saccharum, tribe Andropogoneae, native to the warm temperate to tropical regions of South and Southeast Asia, Polynesia and Melanesia, and used for sugar production. It has stout, jointed, fibrous stalks that are rich in the sugar sucrose, which accumulates in the stalk internodes. The plant is two to six metres (six to twenty feet) tall. All sugar cane species can interbreed and the major commercial cultivars are complex hybrids.[1]Sugarcane belongs to the grass family Poaceae, an economically important seed plant family that includes maize, wheat, rice, and sorghum, and many forage crops.

Sucrose, extracted and purified in specialized mill factories, is used as raw material in the food industry or is fermented to produce ethanol. Sugarcane is the world's largest crop by production quantity, with 1.9 billion tonnesproduced in 2016, and Brazil accounting for 41% of the world total (ethanol being produced on a large scale by the Brazilian sugarcane industry). In 2012, the Food and Agriculture Organization estimated it was cultivated on about 26 million hectares (64 million acres), in more than 90 countries

Answer 2

The sugarcane is a tall plant grown in warm climate. It has a long thick stem with joints and long green leaves. The cane contains sweet juice from which sugar is made. Some sugar canes cut into lengths are sold in the market. They are chewed and sucked for the juice.

The sugarcanes are sent to the mills for making sugar. They are first crushed under heavy rollers. The sweet juice poured out and squeezed out and collected. Then the juice is heated in pans and the water goes off in vapor. The solid dry grains of sugar are left in the bottom of the pan. They are brown and coarse. Then the workers of the mill remove the brown part. This brown part is called molasses or treacle. They go on doing this till white fine sugar crystals are out.

India is the home of sugarcane. Yet much of the sugars we eat come from other countries. Sugar is mixed in many kinds of sweet-meats like jalebi, barfi and other kinds of sweets.
