Selection of bamboo shoots:
1, observe the bamboo shoots of bamboo
If the bamboo shoots peeled open, the surface of the bamboo shoots are closer together, grow more dense. Such bamboo shoots are basically very good in taste, tender and fresh.
On the contrary, if the bamboo shoots have a larger spacing between the bamboo joints, most of such bamboo shoots are a bit worse in flavor. They will taste older and not as tender as bamboo shoots with densely spaced joints.
2, observe the color of the flesh
Peel off the skin of the bamboo shoots, the flesh inside will have three colors. One is white, one is yellow and one is green.
If the color of the bamboo shoot meat is white, it proves to be the most delicious. Such bamboo shoots are tender, fresh, and crispy. If the color of the bamboo shoot meat is yellow, it can be slightly inferior in taste, but it is also very delicious. But if the color of the bamboo shoot meat is green, it is the worst in terms of taste.
3, observe the overall size of bamboo shoots
I believe that many friends have encountered this situation, buy home bamboo shoots, after peeling the shells, the remaining bamboo shoots meat is only a little. In fact, this is that when we buy bamboo shoots, we do not pick the quality bamboo shoots.
Generally, bamboo shoots with big roots and small bodies will have less shells and more flesh. And, such bamboo shoots are also guaranteed in flavor, most of them are crispy, sweet, smooth and tender, and fresh.
Also, quality bamboo shoots are mostly chubby in size. But just fat, not too big. If it is too big, it means the bamboo shoots will have more fiber in the root and not so good in taste.
As for how big is too big, it depends on the length from the head to the tail of the bamboo shoot. If it's more than 30 centimeters, it's too big.
