Sugar cane
Do you love sweet food, like cakes and candy? I'm sure you do! What makes this food sweet? Sugar, of course! Do you know any facts about sugar?
Most sugar comes from sugar cane. This plant is very tall!
How do we make sugar from sugar cane?
Farmers cut off the top of the plant. They leave some of the plant in the earth. This will grow into more sugar cane.
Workers put the sugar cane into big machines. One machine washes the cane. Another machine cuts and turns the cane over and over. Another machine gets the juice from the cane.
Workers make the juice hot and it becomes thick. The thick juice is called syrup（糖浆）. Workers put a little sugar to the syrup. It turns to crystals（结晶）. A machine dries the crystals. Now we have sugar.
Sugar can be brown or white. Sugar can be different sizes. Then the sugar can go to the sweet factory. Workers will be happy to use it to make sweets!
