There are many types of bamboo shoots, among which winter and spring bamboo shoots are the best and most popular. They are crunchy and delicious to eat, and are especially tasty whether they are used in soup or stir-fried meat. Fresh bamboo shoots are gone after the season, and can be eaten at other times, so spring or winter bamboo shoots are made into dried bamboo shoots, or dried goods, just like mushrooms and fungus. After processing into dried bamboo shoots, the cost becomes higher, so the price is not cheap. But those who love to eat can't resist the temptation of food, so there are a few buyers.

There is nothing else during the period when bamboo shoots are made into dried bamboo shoots. So the color of good quality dried bamboo shoots is the same as fresh bamboo shoots. If we see the color of dried bamboo shoots is white or yellow, then it is definitely not of good quality. It is better not to buy it. No matter what kind of dried bamboo shoots, the flavor is especially fragrant and delicious. If we smell pungent or strange dried bamboo shoots flavor, we don't recommend you to buy it, because these dried bamboo shoots are likely to be treated or have problems.

The color of high-quality dried bamboo shoots should be glossy, light brownish-yellow and shiny. The color should not be too yellow, which may also be smoked with sulfur, but go for the original color. Dark yellow is the average color, followed by brown and black sauce. Also, if the dried bamboo shoots are unusually white and have a pungent sulfur smell, they are dried bamboo shoots with a sulfur smell, so be wary. Consumption can cause dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, symptoms of poisoning. If the bamboo shoots section is tight, the bamboo shoots are short and wide, the bamboo shoots are thick, generally more tender; if the bamboo shoots length is more than 30cm, the bamboo shoots section is more sparse, the roots are larger, and the thin ones are generally older.

The moisture content of dried bamboo shoots should not be too large, and it is easy to deteriorate and become acidic with moisture. The moisture content should be less than 14%. If you take the dried bamboo shoots in your hand and fold them with a sound and break them, it means that the moisture content is moderate. However, if it is continuously folded, or there is no crunching sound when folded, it means that the moisture content of dried bamboo shoots is large. Generally there is no crunchy sound, but continuous break affected by moisture, not only buy not cost-effective, taste is not good, easy to mold. Some dried bamboo shoots, because of the high water content, in the storage process is easy to grow large pieces of white mold, some of which are wormholes, is definitely poor quality.
