Bamboo potato, the scientific name of bamboo taro, is also known as winter powder potato and winter bamboo shoot potato. Mainly grown in the coastal areas of Guangdong, China, it is a relatively rare food, which looks like bamboo Xun, light yellow, 5 to 7 cm long, white meat, and almost all the roots are starch. It is rich in vitamins, sugar, starch, potato essence and salt. Rich in nutrition, low in price, sweet in taste and cool in nature! Rural areas like to eat bamboo potatoes directly after cooking, which was a good snack when materials were scarce at that time.

Harvest bamboo potatoes in the field from winter to around, wash the soil on the surface of bamboo potatoes, and remove the epidermis. Bamboo potatoes are as beautiful as white jade. The washed bamboo potatoes are turned into barrels of rich milky white bamboo potato juice and a pile of bamboo potato residue by the "powder removal" tool. After being filtered and dried, the bamboo potato juice becomes a very precious "bamboo potato powder", and the bamboo potato residue is often pressed into pieces and dried in the yard at will, and later it becomes "dried bamboo potato".
