After all these years of blogging about sugar cane in Israel, I finally decided to taste it!
Here's the man pouring my freshly pressed sugar cane juice.
The juice store is in the covered part of the open air Mahane Yehuda market.
Ten shekels for a small glassful.
That means this bundle is worth hundreds.
The stiff cane gets a good strong squeezing.
Here's what was left.
This is the length of a cane that it took to extract my small glass of juice.
Very sweet.

Did you like it? What did it taste like?
ReplyDeleteHawaii doesn't worship King Sugar anymore! But it still raises emotion to see the cane. Are there cane fires for harvest?

I would imagine it is very sweet. Did you like it?
ReplyDeleteHi girlfriends, yeah, it was just really sweet but not sickeningly sweet. Tasting it was a thing I'd do once in a lifetime. Glad I did.
ReplyDeleteCloudia, "cane fires for harvest"--this is a foreign language to me. Huh?
I have never tasted it, but I would like to see the machine at work!
ReplyDeleteI have never tasted that and I think I will not try it:-) But I hope you liked it.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what they do with the cane afterwards. it looks fibrous - worthy of a second life
ReplyDeleteTried it once a few years ago and decided that I prefer chewing on the stalks. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! Never miss it when I'm travelling (we don't have it here).
ReplyDeleteWow, that really is not much for a small glass of sugar juice? Or is it cane syrup? I'd like to try it!
