Now what do we do with it? Do I make a syrup out of it?

I've only ever had sugarcane as a treat--peel a stick and give it to your kids.

I've also seen it used as the skewers for kabobs.

We just cut it into pieces and chew and suck on it.

LOL! giggle....we bought one this morning. It was like $2.50! (but its 6 feet long! : )

I am trying to figure out what to cut it with.

How is it different than refined in your body? Does it release slower/have a lower glycemic index?

Once we peeled the outer layer off, the inside was a lot softer, so we just used a regular knife. It tastes more like rum than processed sugar!
