Therefore, many people often lament that when peeling winter bamboo shoots layer by layer, there is very little bamboo shoot meat that can be eaten in the end.

In terms of nutritional value, the contents of water, insoluble dietary fiber and vitamin C in bamboo shoots are higher than those in winter shoots, while the contents of protein, carbohydrates, total vitamin A, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, trace elements of calcium and phosphorus are less than those in winter shoots.
