Sugar cane refers to a tall, grass-like plant that is native to tropical regions and is widely cultivated for its sweet sap. The sugar cane plant produces long stalks with a high concentration of sucrose, which is extracted through the process of milling or crushing the canes. This extracted sugar is then used in various food products such as sweets, desserts, beverages and other consumable items. In addition to its use as a sweetener, sugarcane also has industrial applications including biofuel production and paper manufacturing.
