Sugarcane juice is extremely nourishing and packed with many healthy benefits, however, almost none of the companies in India offer packaged sugarcane juice. Primary reason for this being that not only is India one of the world’s largest producers of sugarcane but it is easily available across the country with Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh being the top sugarcane producing states.

Sugarcane juice is linked to many health benefits from being rich in antioxidants that help fight infections to being rich in iron, calcium, magnesium and other electrolytes that are great for dehydration.

3) Rich in carbohydrates, protein, iron, potassium and other essential nutrients
