We all love sweet things so why not let your children chew a piece of fresh sugar cane instead of an unhealthy "high fructose" candy. The cane is juiced and used to make a refreshing energy drink or frozen and added to fruit smoothies. Easy to grow perennial plant in southern climates or in pots up here in Canada. Looks like an tall ornamental "plume grass"  so can be used as an attractive landscape plant. Not bothered by pests or disease and makes great conversation plant. Plant your sugar cane plant outside in garden soil for the summer and get babies produced on side of mother plant....to give you forever supply of sugar cane plants.

If you want to make your own organic sugar just simmer plant juice to evaporate off the water.
