It's not your grandfather's Sugar Cane that would be cut up and served to kids to be sucked/chewed on. What you want to buy is something called Blue Ribbon Sugar Cane if you can find it.

True. I grew up with Ribbon cane in the 50s. I think the bad tasting hybrid came out in the 70s and all the farmers went with it because of resistance to pests and disease. Not for chewing.
