|| Fresh Kenyan Roadside Sugarcane ||

💠Sugarcane is a species of tall, perennial grass which is used for sugar production.

💠The plants are 2–6 m (6–20 ft) tall with stout, jointed, fibrous stalks that are rich in sucrose, which accumulates in the stalk internodes.

💠It is native to the warm temperate and tropical regions. Here in Kenya its widely available.. It would have been rude not to have some.

💠Sugarcane is so versatile, from table sugar, drinks, to the use of the reeds.

💠In most countries where sugarcane is cultivated, several foods and popular dishes are derived directly from it, such as:

▫️Raw sugarcane: chewed to extract the juice
▫️Sugarcane juice: a combination of fresh juice, extracted by hand or small mills, with a touch of lemon and ice to make a popular drink
▫️Syrup: a traditional sweetener in soft drinks
▫️Molasses: used as a sweetener and a syrup accompanying other foods, such as cheese or cookies
▫️Jaggery: a solidified molasses, known as gur, it is used as sweetener in cooking traditional entrees, sweets, and desserts.
▫️Falernum: a sweet, and slightly alcoholic drink made from sugarcane juice
▫️Cachaça: the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage in Brazil; it is a liquor made of the distillation of sugarcane juice.
▫️Rum is a liquor made from sugarcane products, typically molasses, but sometimes also cane juice. It is most commonly produced in the Caribbean.

Tamarillo, best known by the name tree tomatoes in Kenya is fast-growing, especially if you have a tree in the garden.

💠 Description
The fruits are egg-shaped and about 4-10 centimeters long. Their color varies from yellow and orange to red and almost purple. Sometimes they have dark, longitudinal
stripes. Red fruits are more sour, yellow and orange fruits are sweeter. The flesh has a firm texture and contains more and larger seeds than a common tomato

💠 Taste
With an exquisite mix of tangy and sweet, tamarillos are super versatile and can sit equally well in savoury or sugary dishes

💠 Recipes
Tamarillos are excellent for making chutney, sauce, relish and jelly because of the pectin they contain.
Many people enjoy them raw, simply slicing them in half and using a teaspoon to scoop out the tangy insides. These insides are slightly more tangy in the red varieties.

💠 Health benefits
Tamarillos are pleasingly low in calories. They have a substantial amount of dietary fibre (one will give you about nine percent of your daily intake), and contain decent amounts of potassium, vitamins A, C, E and pro-vitamin A, along with antioxidants.
