Default Re: Sugar Cane..How Sweet it is or is it?

Commercially an average stalk of sugarcane has 0.3 lbs of sugar in it. You could probably make brown sugar at your house, but not white sugar. White sugar takes a lot of heat to make. As far as sugarcane coming back after a freeze, certain varieties are more cold tolerant than others. Sugarcane is grown commercially in Louisiana, where it gets into the 20s.
