What is Raw Sugar Cane?
Raw sugar cane refers to the plant used to produce many varieties of table sugar and other sweeteners like molasses and raw sugar. It is a plant of the genus Saccharum, and there are several species grown throughout the world, mostly in warm climates. It’s thought that sugar cane originally came from places like India, and processes for creating sugar from the plant date back at least five millennia. Growth of raw sugar cane is often associated with development of the New World too, since sugar cane growth was widely developed in certain tropical regions as Europeans actively colonized North and South America.
