What's the difference between green sugarcane and purple sugarcane?

First of all, sugar cane is actually a kind of fruit, which is estimated that some people don't understand. Sugarcane is a kind of delicious fruit, which is loved by everyone. There is more than one variety of sugarcane, and there are purple-skinned sugarcane and green-skinned sugarcane. Among them, purple-skinned sugarcane has a high probability, and many people should have seen purple-skinned sugarcane in street fruit stalls. Green-skinned sugarcane is relatively rare. In the past, in rural areas, people generally directly referred to black sugarcane and white sugarcane as purple sugarcane and green sugarcane. So what's the difference between green sugarcane and purple sugarcane?

Green-skinned sugarcane is harder than purple-skinned sugarcane. Many people should have eaten purple sugar cane. It's easy to eat. Just wash the purple-skinned sugarcane and chew off the skin directly from the mouth. Except for the elderly and children, most people can chew purple sugar cane, because purple sugar cane itself is not very hard. But the situation of green-skinned sugarcane is different. It is estimated that many people have never chewed green-skinned sugarcane and don't understand its hardness.

Green-skinned sugarcane is obviously harder than purple-skinned sugarcane, and anyone who has chewed these two kinds of sugarcane will understand this. Not only old people and children can't chew green-skinned sugarcane, but ordinary adults also have many green-skinned sugarcane that are not easy to chew. In rural areas, it was not uncommon to lose one's teeth or suffer from oral bleeding because of chewing green sugar cane. Therefore, in rural areas, people usually peel off green sugar cane with a knife first, and then eat it to avoid hurting their teeth and mouths.

The sweetness of green-skinned sugarcane is higher than that of purple-skinned sugarcane. In addition to the above, the hardness of these two kinds of sugarcane is different, and the sweetness of green-skinned sugarcane and purple-skinned sugarcane is also different. Green-skinned sugarcane is obviously sweeter than purple-skinned sugarcane. It is also for this reason that green-skinned sugarcane is often used to make sucrose or drinks.

Of course, in addition to the above two differences, there is another difference between green-skinned sugarcane and purple-skinned sugarcane, that is, their juice content is also different. The juice content of green-skinned sugarcane is richer than that of purple-skinned sugarcane. This is another reason why green-skinned sugarcane is used to make sucrose.

By comparing green-skinned sugarcane with purple-skinned sugarcane, we can find that the sweetness and juice content of green-skinned sugarcane are higher than that of purple-skinned sugarcane. Therefore, purple sugarcane is often placed on fruit stalls and sold directly to customers, because it is not particularly sweet and suitable for most people. Green-skinned sugarcane is sold less directly, and more is sent to sugar factories to make sucrose, so green-skinned sugarcane is rarely seen in roadside fruit stalls.

Generally speaking, the main differences between green-skinned sugarcane and purple-skinned sugarcane are hardness, sweetness and juice content, except the color of the skin. Specifically, green-skinned sugarcane is harder and sweeter than purple-skinned sugarcane, and its juice content is higher. The number of nodes of green-skinned sugarcane is also less, while the number of nodes of purple-skinned sugarcane is denser. These are the main differences between green-skinned sugarcane and purple-skinned sugarcane.
