Sugar cane stalk
Sugar cane stem
Sugar-cane stem is the jointed, fibrous stalk containing sweet juice, sold for chewing or pressing rather than eaten as a soft vegetable.

About Sugar cane stem
Sugar-cane stem refers to the jointed, fibrous stalk of the sugar-cane plant. Its outer surface is tough and its interior contains sweet juice; the stalk itself is stringy and is generally chewed for its juice rather than swallowed as a soft vegetable.
Stems may be sold as cut sections for chewing or sent for pressing and sugar production. Freshness, trimming, and whether the entry refers to the intact stalk or extracted juice matter: the juice is a separate food form, with most of the stem’s fibrous material left behind.

Intact stalk and expressed juice differ because pressing separates much of the fibrous material; comparisons should identify which form was measured.
