The process shows how

sugar

is made from the

sugar

cane plant. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that

this

natural and man-made process involves 3 main stages beginning with initial harvesting, followed by a chemical transformation, and

finally

separation into the end product of

sugar

. The

first

stage is natural and begins with

sugar

cane being grown over a 12 – 18 month period. The mature plant is

then

harvested either by hand or large, industrial farming machinery. From that point, the stalks are crushed in a grinder which results in raw

sugar

cane juice. The juice is

then

run through a limestone filter and poured into an evaporator during which time it is heated, reduced and becomes a syrup. The syrup is

next

separated from the

sugar

crystals using a centrifuge prior to being dried and cooled in its final form as

sugar

.
