The unique fragrance of bamboo shoots has the functions of appetizing and promoting digestion; Bamboo shoots are known as "scavengers" of human waste, which have the characteristics of low fat and hypoglycemia.
Because bamboo shoots are fresh vegetables, the fresher, the more tender and the more delicious they are. When picking bamboo shoots, choose those who are white, not yellow, without spots and delicate fibers; Don't pick too "strong" bamboo shoots, which are easy to age and have a less tender taste. Because the bamboo shoots continue to grow after excavation, they need to be cooked in cold water and stored in the refrigerator when they are not eaten that day.
