अथेक्षुवर्गः- वृष्यः शीतः सरः स्निग्धो बृंहणो मधुरो रसः। श्लेष्मलो भक्षितस्येक्षोर्यान्त्रिकस्तु [१] विदह्यते ॥२३७॥

॥ Class of sugarcane and its products॥ Now described are sugarcane juices and derived products. Sugarcane juice should ideally be consumed right off the cane by chewing. Machine-pressed juice does not have the same quality and can be irritating. Sugarcane juice is an aphrodisiac, cold in potency, laxative, unctuous, nourishing, sweet, and increases kapha.
