Sugar cane is a tropical and subtropical crop that grows as large stalks above ground. It can be peeled and eaten when ripe. Sugarcane juice is the liquid extracted from pressed sugarcane. It is consumed as a beverage in many places, especially where sugarcane is commercially grown such as, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, Egypt, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Sugar cane is milled and refined to produce cane sugar, which consists mainly of sucrose. Cane sugar can be dried and sold granulated, the form typically used as table sugar, or crushed into powdered sugar.
