Chinese Sugarcane (Saccharum sinense)

Saccharum sinense, commonly known as Chinese sugarcane or saccharum cane, is a perennial tropical grass in the Poaceae family. Native to parts of Asia, it is cultivated for its tall, fibrous stalks rich in sucrose, which are used for sugar production, juice, and other sweeteners. Traditionally, various parts of the plant—including stalks and juice—have been employed in folk remedies for digestive support, hydration, and energy replenishment. With its agricultural, nutritional, and economic significance, Saccharum sinense remains an important crop in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia.
