GarapaGarapa is the Brazilian Portuguese term for the juice of raw sugar cane, a very popular drink in several Latin America countries. It is also a high caloric foodstuff, due to its high content of sugar. Garapa is obtained by crushing the sugar canes without its skin in a small hand- or electrically operated mill, and it is usually served ice-cold with a touch of lemon. The garapa juice is also the primary source for obtaining other derivatives from sugar cane, such as sugar (obtained by evaporation and refining), brandy (called cachaa or caninha) and ethanol.
