Sugarcane Juice
गन्ने का रस · చెరకు రసం
Freshly pressed sugarcane juice, popular street drink. High in natural sugars — despite being 'natural', it's essentially liquid sugar.
Nutrition per Serving
Sugars shown are total sugars (naturally occurring + added) per serving and are approximate. For fruits and dairy this is mostly natural sugar; for sweets and many cooked dishes it reflects added sugar or jaggery.
Tips to Manage Blood Sugar
Very high sugar content despite being 'natural'. Avoid entirely if diabetic. Adding ginger and lemon doesn't significantly lower the GI — it's still sugar water.
