Bamboo shoots are the ingredients of Jiangnan cuisine. In the past, there was even a saying that "you can't eat bamboo shoots without bamboo".

Spring bamboo shoots should be fresh and tender, and yellow or white is the best; Bamboo shoots should be neat, white and fresh. The quality and color of the bamboo shoots on the side are tender. Winter bamboo shoots should be slightly white and yellow. Don't be deceived by some attractive bamboo shoots that look white and fat. Bamboo shoots that are too strong may not taste so tender.

Bamboo shoots are fresh vegetables. The fresher and more tender they are, the more valuable they are. If you can't eat it immediately, after buying bamboo shoots, apply some salt on the cut surface and then put it in the refrigerator.
