The Sweet Cane Cafe has opened its doors and invites all who want to partake in the beginning of the Big Island Sugarcane Revival. Folks are invited to select from nine Cane Rush drink flavors including Lilikoi Passion, Cocoa Cream, Ginger Twist and the Original Healing Water.

Since the mid-1900s, focus has shifted away from sugarcane and its nutritional benefits. Big Island organic farmers, Jackie Prell and John Caverly, are eager to spread awareness once again.

“Our Organic Hawaiian Cane Rush sugarcane juice is made from a special healing cane gifted to us by an old Hawaiian man. He said this cane juice was given to people back in the days when they were sick, to help them regain their health,” Caverly, better known as “Ginger John,” said.

Cane Rush sugarcane juice is made from 100% organic, farm fresh ingredients. All are invited to enjoy this delicious libation at the Sweet Cane Cafe, located at 1472 Kilauea Avenue in Downtown Hilo.

Sugarcane juice is a blast of easily assimilated nutrition. Rich in complex carbohydrates and low in simple sugars, fresh sugarcane juice contains naturally occurring amino acids, B vitamins, calcium, chlorophyll, iron, magnesium, potassium and riboflavin. Alkaline in nature, Cane Rush is also low on the glycemic index.

The antioxidants and electrolytes found in Cane Rush help to invigorate, revitalize and rehydrate after strenuous activity. (These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.)

Cane Rush 100% Organic & Farm Fresh Flavors: Original Healing Water, Cocoa Cream, Lilikoi Passion, Hot Kiss, Ginger Twist, Orange Blush, Buzzalicious Banana, Lemongrass Zap, Master Cleanse.

Sweet Cane Cafe is operated by the folks at Kalapana Organics, who farm with Korean Natural Farming practices, a truly sustainable health-promoting system in which we culture indigenous microorganisms and apply other homemade inputs such as oriental herbal nutrients. They also teach these methods at Onomea Farm.
