Sugarcane is a highly productive tropical grass native to Asia where it has been cultivated for more than 4,000 years.
Raw sugarcane may be chewed to extract the juice, or put through a sugarcane juicer. It makes the perfect snack when you are craving something sweet.
Miami, FL
Nearly a decade ago, Miami began selling fruit at local farmers' markets, initially using a bicycle to pick up produce from nearby farms. As demand grew, Miami Fruit expanded, transitioning to car and van transport.
By 2016, prompted by requests from Facebook friends nationwide, Miami teamed up with partner Edelle Schlegel to establish Miami Fruit officially. Today, they collaborate with numerous local growers and operate their own seven-acre farm. The fruit they source usually ships the day after it’s picked, and it’s oftentimes fruit that simply can’t be found outside of the Tropics.
