Xin Ning Black Skin Sugarcane

Xin Ning Black Skin Sugarcane

　　The area around Tang’an and Shuibian villages in Xin Ning Town is located in the Zuo River Valley, featuring flat terrain, fertile soil, abundant water and heat, and a favorable agricultural ecological environment—making it highly suitable for growing black sugarcane. Black sugarcane is a traditional industry here and has long been an important production base for black skin fruit sugarcane in Fusui County, with an annual output of 60,000 tons that is sold both within and beyond the region.

　　 The black sugarcane (i.e., black skin fruit sugarcane) from Tang’an and Shuibian in Xin Ning Town is also known as flesh sugarcane, named for its black skin, sweet taste, crisp texture, and well-spaced joints. It is one of people's favorite winter fruits. Its skin is black, glossy, and free of pests, the stalks are tall and straight, the joints are well-spaced and orderly, the flesh is fragrant, crisp, juicy, and sweet. Rich in essential trace elements such as iron and zinc, it is highly nutritious and has long been praised as the "blood-enriching fruit."

　　Black sugarcane is not only a fine winter fruit but also an excellent medicinal food for disease prevention and health: it tastes sweet and has a cool nature. The sweetness nourishes and enriches the blood, while the coolness clears heat and promotes body fluids, thus offering moisturizing and nourishing benefits. It is particularly effective in treating conditions such as hypoglycemia, heart weakness, insufficient body fluids, sore throat, and deficiency cough due to internal heat. It is often said that "black sugarcane in autumn surpasses ginseng in value."
