Sugar Canes Look More Edible As The Outer Skin Of Sugar Canes Are Removed.
Sugar canes piled up on a bike cart looked more attractive than the sugar canes still having the attention of a Chinese man and Chinese woman, who were busy removing the outer skin of the canes. Sugar canes are used for the manufacture of sugar in the factories, but pieces are also used in place of ''lollipops'' by the people in China. The sugar cane is chewed, and chewed, and chewed, for the sweet juice that it provides, and then the fibrous remains rejected politely or in different ways!
Once, on a visit to Fusui, the road from Nanning went through an area that was dedicated to the growing of sugar cane. In Fusui itself there was a factory that used loads and loads of the cane for the production of sugar. Many of the people living in Fusui worked in the sugar factory, and on shifts. Apartments on a nearby estate were provided for the workers, and on the estate were installed loudspeakers. When the time neared for a change of shifts, the loudspeakers would blare out a message to wakeup the sleeping workers, and prepare them for more processing of the sugar canes in stock.

Sugar canes are not always sold with the outer skin removed, and sometimes the sugar canes are cut into short lengths and sold as bundles. In one small town market, this cutting into pieces of the sugar canes were being done by a small group of women. Standing nearby was a beggar man keeping a watchful eye on the process. When the unsaleable pieces of the sugar canes were thrown to one side, to be disposed of, the beggar man would pick up and chew any piece that he considered worthwhile.
** Saccharum is a genus of 6 to 37 species (depending on taxonomic interpretation) of tall perennial grasses (family Poaceae, tribe Andropogoneae) commonly known as sugarcane or sugar cane. Native to the warm temperate to tropical regions of the Old World, they have stout, jointed, fibrous stalks that are rich in sugar and measure 2 to 6 meters tall. All of the sugar cane species interbreed, and the major commercial cultivars are complex hybrids.
