Sugarcane Growing

Harvesting Sugarcane

During harvest, the cane harvester drives along each row and cuts the cane stalk off at the bottom of the plant. The long stalk is then cut into many shorter lengths called ‘billets’ (around 30cm). Another machine known as a cane haul out drives alongside the harvester, collecting all the billets. Getting the cane to the mill once sugarcane has been harvested, it must be transported to a sugar mill as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the more sugarcane juice stored in the stalks will evaporate - so it is important that it arrives within 16 hours of being cut, to minimize deterioration.  The cane haul out collects billets until its full, then drives across the paddock to the road, where it unloads its contents either into a semi-truck (for road transport) or mill bins at local sidings on the nearest railway track (for train transport).

Sesame Seeds

Through the ages, the  seeds have been a source of food and oil. Sesame seed oil is still the main  source of fat used in cooking in the Near and Far East.  Sesame seeds are tiny, flat oval seeds with a nutty taste and a delicate,  almost invisible crunch. They come in a host of different colors, depending  upon the variety, including white, yellow, black and red.        

Origins        

Most of the wild species of the genus Sesamum are native to sub-saharan Africa  Not only are sesame seeds a very good source of manganese and copper, but  they are also a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin  B1, zinc and dietary fiber. In addition to these important nutrients, sesame  seeds contain two unique substances: sesamin and sesamolin. Both  of these substances belong to a group of special beneficial fibers called lignans,   and have been shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect in humans, and to  prevent high blood pressure and increase vitamin E supplies in animals. Sesamin  has also been found to protect the liver from oxidative damage.
