18:19 Tasting the sugar cane juice!
18:45 Final thoughts about the results.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Because the juicer creates so many fine fiber particles, you MUST filter the juice through a very fine filter. The strainer I used was not enough. Drinking the juice gave me a stomach ache and gas. I ended up filtering the juice a second time through a white cotton t-shirt. It really took out a lot of indigestible pulp and the juice was much better. A commercial cane juicer actually crushes the cane with rollers and squeezes the juice out, so it does not create all the fiber in the juice.

A tip on peeling the cane, where I live in China vendors use a large peeling knife. I believe it's actually called a sugar cane knife. It looks like an industrial strength vegetable peeler lol. Almost every Asian market sells them for pretty cheap. I recommend getting one of the heavy duty ones with thick black steel, that's what the vendors here use, they peel an entire cane in just a few moments with all the ease of peeling a carrot. Hope this helps.
Hi what colour was the sugar cane juice when you drank back then in china? Was it pale cream colour or nearer to dark brown?

In jamaica we use our teeth...😊.really we do

At the end of your video when you were tasting the sugarcane a memory popped into my mind. When I was a small girl I remember watching my great-uncle Stanley's mule going around and round in circles grinding the sugarcane and my great-uncle Stanley bringing me a glass of fresh-squeezed cane juice and knowing I was loved.
🥰
You are wonderfully calm, and a great teacher. I’d love to come and sit watching you doing this. I don’t think I will ever get to try sugar cane, but it’s lovely to watch this. I don’t think it would grow in the UK, and if it did I’d need a strong individual to harvest and prepare it for me lol
Somebody give that man a machete!
😂
Thank you for this vid. I am in Suriname and just came home with some cane and was happy to find this very informative video to help prepare it for juicing.Best wishes to you!
+poolandmusic Thanks for watching.
watched several of your videos on growing and juicing the sugarcane. very informative and very well done. thanks so much for taking the time and being thorough and showing all the tips and tricks. subscribed.
Jason P Thank you!
Do love your vids on cane!! I just found a small cane patch yesterday up in Stuart, FLorida! Managed to take some & now I'm trying to start them like in your previous vid! Going to be looking for different varieties now :)
Great video..this took me back to childhood eating cane in the cane fields. Woww
Did the exact same thing with the family yesterday with the same machine.
Omg Thank You so much Sir , I’ll be trying this Tomorrow 😊 I got lots of sugarcane and I didn’t know how to make juice 🥤 Thank You
Thank you very much for sharing this information. I always wanted to know if a regular juicer could handle a sugar cane. Now I know the answer. Those traditional sugar cane juicers are too expensive. God bless
Love the video !!!! Thank you !!! I need to get my hands on some sugar cane and juice it with my breville
You might get brewer bags for staining. Your local diy beer and wine making products. Then cook it down to Cain syrup. I have never done it, I’m in the the northwest we don’t get a lot raw Cain.
For straining the juice with small amounts of fibres i recommend straining using a muslin cloth.
I have a carpentry chop saw, w. a 10" blde for getting small sections and removing the hard nodes.
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Im buying this juicer now on Ebay.
Great Job in explaining!
Appreciate the video. Excellent presentation. Thanks.
Thanks for the video.Going to try and grow chewing cane in Berkeley Ca.Deep South Homestead grows a lot of it,and they make syrup also.They sell the chewing,and juicing cane on thier Etsy.com store.Yours is growing well so far so good.Good luck.
Very elaborately described.
This was very helpful. I tried to do mine this morning, but almost destroyed my machine as I was doing it in chunky pieces.
what kind of juicer you have? i have an omega haven't tried it.
Have you tried fermenting the juice and drinking it like that? Would add some probiotics to it. Good for your digestion. And ofcourse the added sparkle would be refreshing too!
great solution. thanks for sharing
will the top piece grow a new sprout without a bud? ive seen some canes grow a sprout through the top of the hole where its been cut when planted vertically, but im curious how those will grow since i cant wait 2 years for a top piece planting experiment lol
Was the liquid sweet enough to sweeten juice on its own? And a fine cheesecloth to fix the fiber particles.
Nice! well-done.
You can use a cheese cloth to strain all of the fibers out. I think it's called a cheese cloth anyway. It's the best way to separate the liquid.
Great video. Thank you 😊
This is amazing thank you so much
Sir very very nice Video
Very informative video
Thanks 👍
Great video 👍🏽
Wow, can't wait to try this as I have a breville. I honestly thought juicing would be impossible & would need to buy a press which is not affordable at all!
Be sure to strain the juice through a very fine mesh to get all the tiny fiber out. When you press the cane, none of the cane fiber gets into the juice and it is clear. The Breville pulverizes the cane fiber and suspends it in the juice, making it cloudy. You want to strain as much fiber out of the juice as possible or it will not digest well at all. I learned the hard way and got a stomach ache.
I wish I would've watch this video before I tried juicing the cane & slightly messed up my breville juicer because I didn't take out the joints/nodes like I should have
🤡
@floridabeachhunter tried this before but juicer clogged up and heated up maybe probably the secret is that the juicer must be Breville made? However, I wondered how long did it really take you from start to finish to juice the entire cane? The reason why I asked is because sugar cane juice usually turns the darker colour brownish mud usually after about 3 hours minimum! So how long from start to finish did it take to juice the 10 feet long sugar cane?
It would have been really great for statistics to know the diameter at both ends at the cane.
At the beginning the color of the sugar cane juice was a palish yellow then turned greenish and then yellow-brownish and finally brownish mud color. That indicated a long time past and or the temperature was high to increase the oxidation and breakdown decomposition of the juice. Probably that may have been the reason for the stomach ache afterwards. What do you think?
J Archers I would not try this with any other type of juicer except Breville. Once I started running the cane through the juicer, until I took the first drink was less than 20 minutes. The entire process, from peeling the cane to drinking the juice was less than an hour. I was in the shade, there was a cool breeze, and the temperature was about 75 degrees F. I think you are comparing the color of the juice from crushed cane to the color of the shredded cane juice produced by the Breville. The tiny fibers in the juice give it a darker color. It also tastes slightly different than crushed cane juice. The juice was fresh. It was the insoluble fibers that cause stomach upset. It must be filtered through a fine filter. Even then, the juice produced by the Breville does not taste as good as crushed cane juice tastes. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This is really nice ,thank you for the video, So how can I get this Breville Juicer machine ,I am in Cape town south Africa
hello. thAnk you for your video. wanted to know if you think I can do the same with my breville BJE510XL juicer....
Thanks so much!! I did. I will surely strain it through my nut milk bag. I appreciate your feedback. Hope you have a happy thanksgiving!
You might try filtering through a white cloth. Just an idea.
Great video
Awesome video.
Hello. They do sell a sugar cane peeler. In the same sense of a fruit peeler in a bigger knife form. Search on ali express or amazon
Can i mix sugar cane w ginger and beets juice ?
Sinfully but naturally sweet, and tasty indeed.
Really appreciated the video. I grew my first crop of cane last summer and ended up composting it as I couldn't easily juice it. Ironically I have a similar Breville juicer, and if I'd seen your video then, well... By the way, what speed did you run the juicer on - maximum?
+FarHorizons Sorry you didn't see the vid sooner. Yes, I ran the juicer on maximum speed and was careful not to overload it.
Awesome. I don't see any more videos from you. Why?
Where do you get
The cane from? Ty
woo hoo love ur vids man.. !!
+Binhan Nguyen Thank you! Thanks for watching.
How much qty of sugar cane u used to get 850ml ? Tx
Great demonstration. I think the slow juicer would be better for extracting sugar cane juice.
I tried it in a slow juicer and it got stuck and the juicer turned off.
@@monicaeaves ohh, I see!
You can use a cheese cloth in the strainer, thank you this was inspirational, do you have issues with any specific type of bugs growing them in the planter that's exactly what I was going to do was grow them in a planter I live in 7B and was told that I could grow the sugar cane here but can I grow it in a planter.?
I did not have a problem with bugs in the containers. Sugar can is very hungry though, so you'll probably need to add some additional nitrogen at some point if the leaves start to yellow. I'd suggest worm castings and/or blood meal. After they gain some size they will need water every day. You may have to tie them to a stake when they get large to keep the wind from blowing them over. Your main problem will be the cold. I'd start them indoors early in the year to let them get a head start. Then when the danger of frost is over, move them outside to a sunny location. If you plan to overwinter them outdoors in the containers after harvest, you'll have to protect them from the cold or the roots will freeze. The canes themselves will not survive zone 7b winters, I'm quite sure, unless you happen to have a very protected location with a southern exposure. Good luck!
got the same brand juicer, different model im thinking of going over the top with wine making so im wondering how many feet of cane or how much juice would someone need for a Lb or 5Lbs of sugar?
Richie, cane juice is about 12% sugar, so ten gallons of juice would yield slightly more than one gallon of syrup. You'd have to cook the syrup down more to get it to crystalize. I'm not sure how much a gallon of sugar would weigh. Probably close to 5 pounds. I saw on a video that 120 gallons of cane juice will produce about 15 gallons of syrup, which is about right.
Where can l buy it too grow it?
Wonder if you could just cut the nodes out without having to take the skin off. Seems like a lot of work. But I get free cane from cousin so it’s ok lol.
Thank you I have a Breville juucer.
You would get WAY more juice from a TuboBiz juicer. You wouldn't believe how much more you would get from that whole cane. Yeah, you got juice but it's not efficient at all. The Tubobiz are expensive for sure but they will last forever. I bought one and had it shipped and have literally juiced thousands of Sorghum cane with it for syrup. Well worth the money and you will get WAY more juice.
Thanks for watching and contributing. I realize that the Tubobiz juicers are top of the line and would be much easier. However, this video was made specifically for people who only want to juice one or two canes once in a while and do not have hundreds of dollars in their budget for a serious juicer. Most vegetable juicers would be ruined by juicing sugar cane. The Breville can handle the job if done properly as I demonstrate. As to your assertion that I would get more juice from the same amount of cane using Tubobiz, I doubt it. The leftover cane fiber was absolutely powder dry and fluffy. No more juice was left in the fiber. My biggest complaint about using the Breville was the amount of microscopic fibers left in the juice, which then had to be filtered out with a double-thickness of cotton cloth. The quality of juiced produced by roller-crushing is still better than that produced by the Breville, in my opinion. Good luck with your channel off youtube. I'll check out your new media platforms.
floridabeachhunter I paid a pretty penny for my Breville. I don’t think I would risk ruining it over time. A steam juicer might work better.
What is name and price of this machine?
+floridabeachhunter Just a thought bud, perhaps you could use a coffee filter on your juice? You could place it in your little handheld filter. Also, Thanks for these videos! I'm really considering growing sugar cane next year. Happy growing!
Sean Anderson that wouldn’t work with the Breville.
Can you dehydrate the juice to make sugar for baking?
+Lynn Dutt Yes, most definitely. You would just need to boil it down until it crystallizes. Then it would be in a lump which you'd have to pulverize. Or you could stop boiling before it crystallizes and just use the syrup as a sweetener. I guess you'd have to reduce the liquid in the recipe if you used cane syrup instead of dry sugar.
Thank you.
same answer I have been looking for, thank you , its really a great video, God bless you. Am aslo wondering if boiled it gets more sweeter than when not boiled?
hey i live in Colorado and i wonder if there is any way i can get my hands on some cane and grow it my self can anyone help?
Plan a vacation to Disneyworld with the family or some friends. While you're down there, visit some farmers markets and......
RaveBlade7 On ETSY.com store type in Deep South Homestead for juicing cane, or chewing cane on thier Etsy.com store.The chewing cane is almost gone,but if you want more check them out on thier UTUBE channel at Deep South Homestead for thier email address to order more of either varieties of the sugar cane.Good luck.
asian market in Aurora, h-mart. Yale and iliff.
great video 😃
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
What zone are you in
Do you know the variety of that sugar cane. It looks like it gives good yield. I'm wondering about sugar content too.
Pretty sure it is an heirloom variety. It was given to me by a neighbor who has been growing it for many years. It is quite soft and good for chewing. Might have been brought down from Louisiana.
@@floridabeachhunter oh o.k. I'm in hawaii and I wanna get some. A few years back I went to the universitys agricultural station and they had all these varieties hawaiian, tahitian, filipino. Mostly pacific varieties but I recall getting a gallon of juice out of one twelve foot stalk. It was so filled with juice and very thick stalks. I wish I remembered the variety but I think I wrote it down. I gotta dig through my notes. Thnx for the info.
I have been using a pair of long handle pruning shears to cut mine. It`s a lot quicker!
Thanks man
Thumbs up... ENJOY.... THE SIMPLE LIFE
a clean silk type curtain cloth is the best filter for that purpose
Thanks for the tip! And thanks for watching.
that looks like a husky machine, I have Jack Lalane and juice lady, and a Champion 40 yr old one.
Yes, Ray, this is a pretty stout machine. Three hundred bucks I paid for it several years ago. We use it nearly every day to juice carrots, apples, celery, greens, beets. Never jams. Sometimes it sprays juice around the kitchen just a bit. Sounds like you've been juicing a long time. Jack Lalane, what a guy he was. Those were the days, eh?
I do not think your cane is moldy. I think it is yeast bloom, just like grapes off the vine.
Thanks, grwat teacher
You can retain the fibers in the juice. They are healthy so no need to strain them out
I am now addicted to your CZcams channel but I was wondering if you are only supposed to hack or can you saw?😀😂🍦
Glad you are enjoying the videos. You could certainly saw the cane. No problem. Or you could cut it with a pair of (clean) pruning loppers. I hack it because that's the way I learned to do it down in the Caribbean. A band saw, jig saw, circular saw or hand saw would work. I don't think I'd use a chain saw;-)
Hi David McRee / floridabeachhunter, yes; agree it was a nice video, would like to talk to you about thinking about thrashing away the cane's hard interjoint point, instead of throwing it into the recycle bin. Is that something we can talk about?
Thank you for letting me know I can use that kind of juicer to make sugar cane juice. I was afraid it might break my juicer.
Mother Earth surely Grows, Knows and Shows what is GOOD for THE BODY. Life feeds life,Death feeds Cancer
Think you would get more yield with an Omega juicer
I am student I want to Sell this juice to Enhance my fees .
Can I use such machine
thank you for this as I am looking to purchase a juicer that can handle sugar cane!
Great video, I wonder could you use the fibers to make a sugar cane wine? since it would still have plenty of sugar. I will be going to my local market this Monday look for sugar cane. :D Thanks Is that a papaya tree in the background do you have a video ?
The fibers are completely dry after going through the juicer, so no, I don't think so. Anyway, cane is used to make rum, not wine. I only have one video on papayas, that's this one about protecting the fruit from pests: czcams.com/video/aMlPyJmRnI8/video.html Thanks for watching.
floridabeachhunter Great videos you make sir! About rum/wine. Wine is a fermented juice where the sugar content is turned into alcohol and co2. Rum is a distillate of fermented sugarcane juice. Just as a note. Keep on making great videos!
How long does it take you to grow that 10-foot long sugar cane? Wow that is a good juicer that you have there! Thanks for the good video. You inspired me to grow some sugar cane now
Thanks for watching, Jessica. It took about 10 months or so. You can see the planting and the progress in this playlist: czcams.com/play/PLDqfleWEDZ4U-QfPNRM8yHGsbSLIkg6N2.html
In Vietnam they Add 1 calamansi or kumquat to it when they juice.
It's very good for pineapple
you could have used the cutter instead of the knife.That was a good machine and sugarcane and lots of work.Thanks.
Looks like you were about to choke on that sip.
is that knife hand made
No, just a cheap store-bought kitchen knife that doesn't take a very good edge.
I hear using a sharp knife to harvest cane does wonders. 😂
use cheese cloth to strain. same way to make almond milk....or even an old t shirt
A t-shirt doubled-up is what I use now. Works great! thanks for watching. I shot an entire video on the filtering process. czcams.com/video/zM_mb_bdruI/video.html
handkerchiefs might be good too, it is what i use for ricotta. they work wonderfully.
Great video I've been planting me some cane for juice, and was wondering what I was going to use. Ty Florida neighbor. I'm from the ❤land area.
Hi Chris. There's a guy who specializes in sugar cane juicing machines. They are fairly expensive, but I hope to buy one someday. Here's a link to his channel: czcams.com/users/TuboBizvideos Thanks for watching.
Indeed, I follow him on FB I'm planning on buying the small countertop manual one hopefully soon. Iv been saving up to get me one. Lol might take me awhile but soon.
Here is his FB link if your interested. facebook.com/tubodelight/
Hey, here's a suggestion for you: www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-Ratcheting-PVC-Cutter-TMC0001J/204284860 It doesn't have to be from HD, but you get the idea. It makes real easy cutting of the cane for harvesting, and for cutting out the joints. The other thing you might want to try is Cutting out the joints before peeling as you can put each section on the table (on end and shave off the outer layer. It will also make it easier to avoid wasting so much usable cane while peeling. Also, keep your knife really sharp, and sharpen frequently as the tough fiber will dull it fast. If you're not good with a steel, then get one of those ones that you draw the knife through to tweak up the edge for faster and safer peeling. So far as the cutter goes, you may have to remove the blade from the cutter and use a file or grinder to sharpen it. It's just one screw on the pivot point and it comes right apart. BTW, get the ratcheting type.
Splendid!
Wow you are a genius. Try to add a few drops of lemon.
You cut the sugar cane too small, the juicer just eating it up🤣
Heed that warning about using a fine filter and the tummyache and gas!
How about cheesecloth
Dont worry it’s neighbour air con few minutes later don’t worry its neighbour dog 😂😖
As the other canes watch the canocide.. in horror lol
you could make sugar too just heat it up.
Not bad might be the one
I am sure that you should be able to juice the canes without cutting it into 4 quarters in Breville juicer because that's how I make it on my Hamilton Beach big mouth Pro juicer...
Wow,a pinch of rock salt, few mint leaves and some cubes of ice would take this juice to the different level of refreshment..I am from Nepal,currently living in US, growing up in the yard with lots of canes, I always drank it like so,during Summer.. Just saying, hope you don't mind!!
You're right, I don't need to cut it into quarters, especially with the purple cane, but its gentler on the juicer to use smaller pieces. The salt, mint, and ice sounds great. Usually around here they put a little lime juice in it. I tend to drink it straight up. Thanks for watching, Sagun.
you look just like Mike Matusow
heaps of $200 dollar cane juicers on the market
Lee Winger How about posting some links to some of those $200 cane juicers you think would be useful? We'd love to check them out!
floridabeachhunter go to eBay or Amazon, there are dozens I bought one this week works great
Are you talking about this kind?
www.amazon.com/Manual-Commercial-Sugarcane-Squeezer-Machine/dp/B013W6YZR2/
Maybe you could do a short video of how you use it and post a link
here? Glad to hear it is working for you. I'll have a look at it,
although I'm more inclined to save up and buy one of the commercial juicers.
floridabeachhunter I'll do one and post a link to the vid
Idk what’s wrong with y’all’s juicers but my 7$ Hamilton beach juicer that I got at the thrift store years ago worked just fine for juicing sugar cane ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
just use aa cotton cloth cant get more fine than that
