    Sugar cane, silly, not candy cane :)

    It’s wood pulp, there is almost zero sugar in a sugar cane once they’re done extracting the cane sugar out of it, which is when it can be re-used to do other things.

    It’s made of bagasse (sugarcane fibers, basically wood pulp) and binders like PLA and is entirely compostable.

      I figured it was made from the sugar from sugar cane, but it seems that it is just the cane from the sugar cane. I have seen sugar straws, so my bad.
