Is the scorching sun beating down? Craving a refreshing drink that’s also good for you? Then look no further than my new favourite spots for pure sugarcane juice shops in Sharjah, UAE!
Sugarcane juice can offer a surprising number of health benefits, though it’s important to be mindful of its sugar content. Here’s a breakdown of some potential benefits:
- Energy Booster: Sugarcane juice is a natural source of sucrose, which your body breaks down for energy. This can be helpful for a quick pick-me-up or after exercise.
- Hydration: Sugarcane juice is a good source of fluids and electrolytes, important for staying hydrated, especially in hot weather.
- Digestive Aid: Some studies suggest sugarcane juice may help with digestion due to its presence of soluble fibre.
- Immunity Boost: Sugarcane juice contains vitamin C and antioxidants, which can contribute to a healthy immune system.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties: Early research suggests sugarcane juice may have anti-inflammatory properties, potentially helpful for conditions like arthritis.
Sugarcane Juice Shops in Sharjah
I found a bunch of places serving up this delicious beverage. Here are a few of my favourite ones:
- Golden Sugar Cane Juices: This little gem tucked away on Al Ghuwair Street, Al Gharb is a breath of fresh air (literally). The second you walk in, the sweet, grassy aroma of sugarcane hits you, and you know you’re in for a treat. They press the juice fresh from the stalk, ensuring you get the maximum flavour and nutrients. A glass costs 3 AED.
- Qasabsab on Jamal Abdul Naser St is another great option, with a perfect 4.5-star rating. Their hours are 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, with slightly shorter hours on Fridays (1:00 PM to 11:15 PM).
- Aseer Al Hayah Beverages in Al Nasiriyah is a local favourite, receiving a stellar 5-star rating. They open a bit later at 9:00 AM and close at noon most days.
No matter which shop you choose, you’re in for a treat! Sugarcane juice is a delicious and healthy way to cool down on a hot day.
