Wutong Sugarcane

Wutong Sugarcane

　　One of Guangxi’s famous fruiting sugarcane varieties, named after Wutong Township in Lingui County where it is primarily grown. It grows to a height of 150–180 cm and a diameter of 2.5–3.5 cm. Harvested between November and December, the cane has thin green skin, white flesh, and a crisp, juicy texture with a refreshing sweetness. The juice contains about 5%–8% sugar, making it one of Guilin’s main "fruits" in autumn and winter. Known for its ability to relieve hangovers and cut through greasy foods, it is a must-have for every household during the Spring Festival. (Guilin)
