Hi MM. The pic above seems to be the La Carlota variety of sugarcane that I know.

I’m just as interested about what sweeteners were we using before the Spanish introduced sugar cane. Palm sugar were the main sweetener in our neighbors in south east asia but I wonder why it never became popular, even in areas of Mindanao (ie outside Zamboanga city) where there were little or no Spanish influence.

I know only of Pakaskas of southern Luzon and tibuk-tibuk, palm sugar made from the Buri palm and the Nipa tree, respectively.
