甘蔗, known as sugarcane in English, is a tall, perennial grass that belongs to the genus Saccharum. It is primarily cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions for its sweet juice, which is rich in sucrose. The juice extracted from the stalks is commonly used to produce sugar, molasses, and various beverages. The plant can grow up to 6 meters tall and has a thick, jointed stem. 甘蔗 is typically harvested by cutting the stalks close to the ground. In many cultures, it is enjoyed fresh, chewed for its sweetness, or processed into products like sugarcane juice and rum.
