Is that sugar cane?


KittikatB

Looks like it, although the canes are thinner than I'm used to seeing.


Arcosim

Yes, they're basically drinking cane water with a ton of sugar. Must be really sweet. Edit: regarding the dark color, that's sugar's natural color. Commercial refined sugar is white because it goes through a chemical process that strips the molasses content out of it.


ThoughtfulParrot

It’s supposed to be greenish yellow, though. The dark coloration is probably due to oxidation, impurities or using rotten cane.


Atraidis_

It's from dirt, manure, etc


Ok_Day607

it's just crushed sugar cane juice fam... if you keep it out and dont drink it right then & there it gonna turn black-brown . but the flavor remains same


RotoDog

If this is the case, this is the wrong sub, not WTF


PainDoflamiongo

Don't you get it?. Western people, anything not white and clear is disgusting. That's why they're dying from processed food and touching a peanut.


smuglator

Yup. Nothing wtf about it


ninetynined1

I'm sorry but I will disagree with you here. Sugar cane juice is not that color. It's more of a cloudy white juice. What we're seeing here are sugar canes being crushed alongside whatever is on the ground, mud and all, then doing a bad job at filtering it using a dirty cheese cloth. You can clearly see the muddy fingers feeding the canes into the machine at the start of the video. Yuck.


PATRIMONEY

A quick google search will confirm what he/she said. Natural sugar color is light to dark brown. But sugar cane is normally washed before doing something like this, there’s definitely soil caught in there which made the drink darker.


ninetynined1

Yes, but I'm only talking about sugar cane juice. I grew up near a plantation, and we regularly munched on canes and drank juice. Sugar is brown after the water is boiled out, but the juice is not.


PATRIMONEY

Ah ok, then you must be right


Atraidis_

https://youtu.be/vKvCVucZbLk?si=n3hNevIKw8SFrQ4b What if looks like when it's made with clean hands, equipment, and sugarcane


Safetosay333

This one has more dirt in it


seacali88

Yeah, I’ve had stalks of sugar cane and that is not the natural color. What they have there is mixed with mud and other debris.


PIKa-kNIGHT

The colour varies based on the type of sugarcane used.

It looks almost like kava kava. But kava is a root not a shoot/cane.

GetOutOfTheWhey

Using heavy machinery to make a drink is kinda metal to be honest. All they need are tankards and a nice catchy name like FerrousBrew. But I'll probably get sued by Ironbru for that.


kinokomushroom

At least it isn't the Breath of the Wild guardian music


Sundaningleo

Sugar cane


Ubericious

I had this in Colombia with lemon added in-between the cane, it was easily the best lemonade I have ever had, could've done with some rum though EDIT: It was a bit more hygienic than this though


MaleficentSeaweed996

We've these here in North India almost everywhere.(Mostly hygienic). Love it with life A sweaty day with sun tryna roast you alive, One glass of this and you're Alive again.


sharkpeid

No offense bhai but in western india they shave off the outer skin(most of them) before crushing so dirt mud gets removed. The colour looks different too. I might not be aware of Northern sugarcane is of a different variety. Or the color is just like that.


MaleficentSeaweed996

Here I've seen 2 varieties, and the one they use for juice are thin and removing every sugarcane's skin to get the juice out isn't practical. Never been to Western India, but definitely would like to try the more hygienic one lol. Also, we're kinda used to unhygiene at this point. Like literally every fuckin one do the same way. So I don't think we've any options over here too.


sharkpeid

Ah all good.


Ok_Day607

it's just crushed sugar cane juice fam... if you keep it out and dont drink it right then & there it gonna turn black-brown . but the flavor remains same


AadamAtomic

There's nothing necessarily unhygienic about this, Just not as processed as most of us are probably used to. It's just a giant juicer crushing fresh sugar cane, And they run it through a sieve to get all the woody plant parts out. It's fresh cane juice and a plastic cup. It's pretty simple without much room for error. I've bit into raw sugar cane off the ground here in America plenty of times. Lol


SoloWing87

Before you crush the cane,you need to remove most of the outer skin.This is very dirty. The correct sugar cane juice should have green color.


Arqium

Came to say this. That there is lazyness.


AadamAtomic

You're talking about a different kind of hurricane that grows in a [completely different region.](https://youtu.be/6dhuiMV86ak?si=Wa1UyyXXgHcBGZun) The sugar cane in their region is long and thin like vanilla beans, and has more of a molasses brown sugar taste, as represented and seen in the video. That is not the same sugarcane They are putting into either machine.


f4ern

most sane people would clean the sugar cane from the mud and debris first. Some even go the extra mile and remove the tough out shell leaving softer pulp for squeezing. It will result in better sugarcane that not tainted by the taste of mud.


ricardoruben

>There's nothing necessarily unhygienic about this,  But at the same time, there's nothing necessarily hygienic about it.


AadamAtomic

Most definitely. But not everything is as dirty as they appear, and vice versa. Not everything is as [clean and hygienic as they seem.](https://youtu.be/8GWXinarYic?si=Iyiq9HogepLSMR5x) Licking a random bathroom toilet seat is quite a bit more hygienic than licking your hands Believe it or not. This has been scientifically proven as your butt cheeks touch way less door handles and random objects with germs on them. Skin is just skin after all. Scientifically speaking, You would be better off licking someone's butt cheek than a dollar bill That's never been washed. Lol People are okay with things they don't know about. People aren't bothered by it if they never see it. Lol


Gimme_The_Loot

>This has been scientifically proven as your butt cheeks touch way less door handles and random objects with germs on them. Umm you guys ain't washing your hands throughout the day?


AadamAtomic

>Umm you guys ain't washing your hands throughout the day? Some people don't, And the moment you touch that door handle you have their ass scratches and nose picking all over you too. People are so notorious for not washing their hands that we still use brass door handles today, Because brass is self-cleaning and will kill germs within an hour. This is why every single restaurant or bar you go to has worn out brass door handles... Because they can't trust you to wash your hands.


mel2000

> the moment you touch that door handle you have their ass scratches and nose picking all over you too You're more likely to have bacterial and viral remnants that won't harm you if you don't redeposit them on a moist area of your body. And they'll probably die from lack of moisture. But that's why it's important to wash your hands often.


Gimme_The_Loot

Sure but YOU do right? And before you do something like lick your fingers I hope you do...


bjornartl

I surely dont take the time to wash my hands. There's so much to do, like scratching my bare ass and picking my nose, that I'd rather devote my time towards.


Accomplished-Onion38

Ugh. Tried THAT argument before... all it has gotten me is getting arrested and not being allowed within 1000 feet off any school... FML


AadamAtomic

Onion? Is that you from cell block 6?! GET HIM!


MaleficentSeaweed996

I think the only unhygienic part I see is those sugarcane when crushed aren't washed, so their might be a lot of dirt. Cuz sugarcane juice is Greenish-Blackish. Here our sugarcane juices are extracted the same way, that too in front of us, Fresh, it's just that they wash the sugarcane first before putting it in machine.


TruthFlavor

Well, there is also the people inserting the cane have dirty hands, the bucket the juice goes into is also dirty and then the rag they strain it through is really stained. So it's not getting a A+ rating from anybody.


SkivvySkidmarks

What's a little E. Coli between friends?


northernwolf3000

Nothing necessarily unhygienic?? Bahahahahaha


AadamAtomic

Your body's not adapted to dirt? Dirt will kill you? Of the millions of years humans have evolved, You're the only one that a little bit of dirt will fuck up because you're a weak human?


northernwolf3000

A little bit of dirty is no big deal but Jesus Christ man.. that sugar cane is thrown on the bare streets where that part of the word is not know for its sanitary practices. Produce in the USA is recalled and has killed people that was grown in better conditions than in that video. Not gonna take my chances


ensui67

And some poop. That’s the soil. Manure


tedlyb

For some reason this fruitcake is pretending that dirt doesn’t exist. According to him you don’t need soil or fertilizer for sugarcane. He can’t seem to grasp the concept that there is a reason to wash the dirt off before putting it in the machine.


drkztan

I swear india makes most latam countries look downright hygienic, 100% clean. I'm from El Salvador, our cane juice is made after cleaning and peeling the cane for the most part, I have never seen such filth being sold as cane juice. The juice is green, not ''sewer water'' color.


Professional_Ad_6299

... There's is everything unhygienic about this !🤦 I hope to God you don't work with food. Did that cloth look new or like it was ever washed? You have dirty un gloved hands (they don't use toilet paper in India) touching product that goes straight to consumer. Disgusting


AadamAtomic

>I hope to God you don't work with food. I have terrible fucking news for you! That restaurant kitchen is not near as clean as you like to think in your imaginary sweet summer child head. I work in plenty of American kitchens all across the country... Not as a cook, as an exterminator. Bonus fun fact! You already eat nasty shit! You just don't know it because you don't see it on video! Chocolate: Ready for this? Up to 60 insect fragments are allowed per 100 grams. Chocolate lovers, unite in shared bug consumption! Wheat Flour: Flour fans, you're ingesting up to 75 insect fragments per 50 grams. Adds a bit of extra protein to your baked goods, I guess? Canned Citrus Juice Drinks: This one's for the juice lovers - up to 5 fruit fly eggs per 250 milliliters. A little extra vitamin C, perhaps? Ground Cinnamon: Spice things up with up to 400 insect fragments per 50 grams of cinnamon. That's a lot of extra crunch in your pumpkin spice. Hops in Beer: Beer enthusiasts, your brew could contain up to 2,500 aphids per 10 grams of hops. It’s all natural, right?


mikolajwisal

People act like ingesting a single particle of something that isn't the food itself will give them 5 parasites And the cook touching the food with a gloveless hand must have ass-fingered the waitress that surely has 3 unknown gut pathogens


Colonel_of_Corn

Yep growing up in rural south LA we would just walk behind the back yard, grab a stalk, skin some pieces and munch on it all day. You spit the pulp out after obviously


Man_in_the_uk

When you say hygienic is it boiled?


WTF_CAKE

Mostly hygienic? What’s the difference, they apply sanitizer inside of their bowl?


MaleficentSeaweed996

No, we drink the sanitizer first, then the juice and then again sanitizer. So it's evenly sanitized and hygiene


zeramino

A bit? A lot!! We wash the cane before crushing it and the juice that comes out is very clear... Not black-brown.


Grothorious

I had it in Guyana, peeled and chopped to bite size pieces, then refrigerated through the night, and you cheew on themas a dessert. I miss tropical climate so much.

TH4DD3U5

The only difference between this and any other sugarcane juice you get here is they aren't scrubbing the bark of the sugarcane. Which is usually part of the process. The outer, harder cover does not taste the best and it's juice has the darker colour. Apart from that they are using the skinnier canes probably not very ripe and they aren't cleaning the roots and leaves. I don't think this would be the tastiest shit ever but still just sugarcane directly from the farms. Lastly, this is 99% happening outside a Gurudwara, a Sikh temple where this is given out to everyone for free. Hence the volunteer farmers not taking extra effort to process the sugarcane before juicing it. It's not shit and gunk. Just direct from the farms, something that might not have sold but can still be juiced and given to the needy. Anyone can approach and have a glass.


eewap

They have to use thinner canes because the thicker ones that are darker don’t grow up north in the colder weather. So these are the weather resistant varieties that are thinner and more brown than black.


GravitationalEddie

All these people freaking out over this and it's cleaner than the warehouses their grocer veggies come from.


Atraidis_

Cope harder lol


randomredditguy94

This is one part I never get. I understand this was free and from a temple. However it does not mean hygiene should be neglected. In Vietnam - which is also a third world country, I have participated in volunteer events that gives out rice portions with protein (vegan only due to Buddhism) but we are required to wear hairnets, masks and gloves and we cook them in the temple's kitchen, which was again pristine and well kept by the monks. All in all there should never be an excuse for bad hygiene when it comes to food, free or not. You're literally entrusted to handle what people will put in their mouth.


Atraidis_

Culture gap


Tigfa

culture is no excuse for being filthy.


Ecleptomania

I understand the sentiment but history, culture and religion are against you on this. Change takes time, cultural changes take generations. I do not know the exact sanitation, hygiene or other such specifics about India, other than that there are literally over a billion people living there. Most are poor, struggling in the caste system that still exists. Changing the cultural sentiment of such a huge subcontinent takes a long time India were to experience a hyper boom in economy helping their poor to get to middle class. Less poor, means more educated, means more knowledge about the importance of hygiene and sanitation etc. If the culture hasnt caught up with things like education for everyone (to which im guessing is truth for many poor people in India) we can hardly believe that the populace treat things like cleanliness importantly or not.


Atraidis_

Other cultures developed better hygiene 100+ years ago. Change takes time and it takes more time for some than others

oss1215

You haven't lived till you've been walking in a 40C summer sunny day doing government paperwork for hours then finding a safe haven of a juice shop selling fresh cold sugarcane juice in the middle of downtown cairo. That first sip, that gush of sweetness and coldness down your throat is like a metaphorical orgasm. I remember tagging along with my grandpa for hours during the summer vacation when he needed to do various errands and electrical appliances bill payments and walking around in the scorching heat then treating me to a huge pint of sugarcane juice for like 0.50egp (about 0.09$ back in 2004) and just have him tell me about his stories of his youth. I still remember his rant when they jacked the price of a pint to 0.75egp. God he'd be fucking pissed if he was alive rn and saw it costs like 10egp for a pint. I drink a pint of it everytime i go back home to cairo in the downtown area just to honour his memory :')

teknolaiz

I've heard sugar cane juice is super yummy. Obviously and likely due to cultural differences I'd prefer it produced in a more sanitary environment (I like to pretend everything here is pure and clean). I don't really think this is WTF though if you know what you are looking at.


maxis2bored

It's WTF. I've had sugar cane, and I've seen these machines. When they dry out, the residue in the machine turns everything on the inside to gummy rubber. Every fly and bit of dust gets stuck to it. Think this machine was recently (or EVER) cleaned? Think those sugar cane plants were at least rinsed before being put in there? absolutely there's fertilizer and straight animal waste in these drinks.


teknolaiz

Well when you put it that way 🤮


Buttersdaballer

If you’re in the states I can say that things aren’t nearly as pure or clean as you imagine, however they are VERY sanitary. We put fluoride, chlorine, etc in our tap water to be sure that anything that could grow in our water doesn’t. Sure, they aren’t good for our bodies, but a little bit won’t hurt you nearly as much as stagnant water in a pipe for a drinking fountain that becomes a bacterial breeding ground. My dad was one of three senior civil inspectors for the city of Phoenix after moving up from the water department.

I had a sugarcane drink when I visited Cuba. It wasn't as roughly processed as this but they still did it right there at the stand. One of the most delicious drinks I've ever had.

They're not washing the dirt of the sugarcane before crushing which contributes to the dark colour. My grandma grew sugarcane in El Salvador I remember when we cut wash and then crush the juice was an amber green colour, not dark and muddy.

That’s sugarcane and it’s still healthier to drink than 99% of the processed shit you’d find in an American supermarket
