The earliest fruit sugarcane was black-skinned fruit cane. It had the advantages of crisp flesh and sweet juice and was extremely popular among people at the time. However, after a period of time, people found that after eating too much of this black-skinned fruit cane, the tongue would feel rough, just like eating too much pineapple. According to expert analysis, black-skinned fruit cane is warm and fiery in nature, and eating too much can easily cause internal heat. This was especially true for black-skinned fruit cane during the Qingming period, and it was not suitable for people with sore throat and strong heat. Later, people had the saying that Qingming black cane is more poisonous than a snake.

Yellow-skinned fruit cane is a fine variety introduced from Taiwan, China in 1995. Its skin is yellow, so it is called yellow-skinned fruit cane. Yellow-skinned fruit cane has the advantages of thin skin, abundant juice, clear sweetness, floral aroma, and good taste. It is one of the winter fruits deeply loved by people. Its flavor is sweet and its nature is cool, and it has the effect of clearing heat. It can relieve lung heat and gastrointestinal heat, and is suitable for people with lung heat cough, excessive phlegm, and yellow, thick, turbid phlegm. Its sugar content is very rich, about 18--20%. The sugar in yellow-skinned fruit cane is composed of three components: sucrose, fructose, and glucose, and is very easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. It also contains a large amount of iron, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc and other trace elements necessary for the human body. Among them, the iron content is especially high, reaching 9 milligrams per kilogram, ranking first among fruits, so fruit cane has long had the reputation of "blood-nourishing fruit."

In addition, yellow-skinned fruit cane is also rich in 18 kinds of amino acids. It has the effects of promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, clearing heat and detoxifying, moistening the lungs, relieving cough, and strengthening the stomach. It can not only be eaten raw, but can also be squeezed into juice and processed into various beverages. It has a wide range of uses and is deeply loved by diners.
