"Guarapo" is the process of pressing the cane into a machine to get the sugar cane juice. In Brazil is called hand press. Garapa (var. Guarapa) is the Brazilian Portuguese term for the juice of raw sugar cane. Also known as "guarapo", "guarapo de caña" or "jugo de guarapo" in various dialects of Spanish like Puerto Rico. Sugar cane juice is obtained by crushing peeled sugar cane in a small hand- or electric mill.
The drink is often served cold with a squeeze of lemon (in Brazil, Colombia, Cuba), pineapple (Brazil), passionfruit and ginger. Goya is selling in a can if you will like to try it! Beware before you try it, the guarapo has very high sugar content it is rich in calories. Guarapo juice is the primary source of sugar cane derivatives such as raw sugar (obtained by evaporation and refining), cachaça or "caninha" and ethanol.
