Recently, Chongming’s natural green food sugar sorghum has become a hot-sale product. As a good choice for relieving summer heat, it is deeply loved by citizens for the refreshing, sweet and nutritious taste. So how can we choose sugar sorghum?
The reporter came to the sales point near the “Lianhua Ximenli” supermarket on Ximen Road in Chengqiao Town and saw many farmers gathered there. Each of them held up a parasol and sat on small benches. Rows of emerald green and shiny sugar sorghum were neatly placed on the ground for citizens to inquire and purchase.
It is reported that the common varieties of sugar sorghum on the market include green-skinned sugar sorghum, river sugar sorghum, sugarcane sorghum, spikelet sorghum and sweet sugar sorghum. Chongming’s loose, slightly saline sandy soil gives local sugar sorghum a crisp and sweet taste, but there are still many skills to choose the best-tasting ones.
A farmer told reporters that when choosing sugar sorghum, you should first see whether the surface is smooth and spotted, and then pay attention to the nodes. The sugar sorghum with many protrusions and buds is sweeter. The sugar sorghum planted on the edge of the field looks rougher. Because of more direct sunlight, they usually have a tough taste with less juice.
It is understood that this year’s sugar sorghum was not affected by typhoons during the growth period, so the growth was gratifying. In addition, the hot, dry climate and sufficient sunlight gave them wonderful taste and high quality. The current market price is about 4-5 yuan per piece.
