Small history
Bamboo shoots are the tender young growth of bamboo, a huge tropical grass that can grow several metres tall. The shoots are harvested before they reach 30 cm (1 foot) in height, generally before they are two weeks old.
The young shoots are crisp and tender like asparagus, with a flavour reminiscent of corn, and are widely used in Asian cooking. Bamboo shoots are commonly available canned, though fresh bamboo is far superior in taste and texture.
