Black-skinned sugarcane is not only sweet and delicious, but also has the effect of promoting salivation and quenching thirst, making it suitable for people of different age groups. So where in Yunnan is black-skinned sugarcane produced? Which sugarcane varieties are suitable for planting in Yunnan?

1. Where in Yunnan is black-skinned sugarcane produced?

Yunnan Province is one of the main sugarcane-producing regions in China. Yunnan's perennial sugarcane planting area is about 300,000 hectares, with a sugar output of around 2 million tons. Among them, Gengma County in Lincang City, Yunnan, has a history of more than 40 years of planting black-skinned sugarcane. "Escaping poverty and becoming rich all depends on sugarcane." Gengma, Yunnan's number one sugar county, has already tasted the sweetness brought by the sugarcane industry.

2. Which sugarcane varieties are suitable for planting in Yunnan?

1. Green-skinned sugarcane

Green-skinned sugarcane is also called white sugarcane or sugar cane. At present, China's green-skinned sugarcane is mainly concentrated in Guangxi and Yunnan. It is a variety with a very high sugar content among sugarcanes, meaning that green-skinned sugarcane is mainly used to make sugar. On the market, green-skinned sugarcane is generally rarely sold separately. Most growers cooperate with sugar manufacturers. Once the sugar cane matures, after harvesting, merchants will come to collect it, or it is delivered directly to the manufacturers. In addition, the flesh of green-skinned sugarcane is relatively hard, so it is generally not eaten as a fruit.

2. Black-skinned sugarcane

Black-skinned sugarcane can be said to be the most common fruit sugarcane on the market. It has a better sweet taste, a relatively crisp texture, and plenty of juice. The main types of black-skinned sugarcane are Dahui and Tupao. Dahui has a layer of white powdery substance on its surface; its nodes are very long, with each sugarcane about two and a half meters; while Tupao's nodes are very dense, but the sugarcane is thicker; each one can grow to about three meters.

3. Red-skinned sugarcane

Red-skinned sugarcane is actually very similar to black-skinned sugarcane, but there are also differences. Generally, the skin of red-skinned sugarcane is a bit lighter than that of black-skinned sugarcane, being dark red. Its cane nodes are numerous and obvious, and its sugar content is also a bit lower. It is juicy, refreshingly sweet and tender-crisp, sweet but not cloying, so it is very suitable for eating as a fruit. However, this kind of sugarcane is less common on the market than black-skinned sugarcane, so many people also mistake black-skinned sugarcane for red-skinned sugarcane.

4. Purple-skinned sugarcane

Purple-skinned sugarcane mainly refers to Shanggao purple-skinned sugarcane. It is a high-quality variety among sugarcanes. Its peel is purple, its flesh is loose and crisp, its taste is refreshingly sweet, and it has little bagasse and plenty of juice. But one disadvantage of purple-skinned sugarcane is that it is generally not very long, about one and a half meters, so for growers the yield is lower than that of red-skinned sugarcane and black-skinned sugarcane.

The above is an introduction to black-skinned sugarcane. When selecting sugarcane, we can choose ones whose nodes are neither too tightly spaced nor too sparse. Usually, sugarcane with darker skin and a glossy appearance is fresher, and the heavier ones are also fresher and juicier.
