Bamboo shoots in China have been regarded as "treasures in dishes" since ancient times. Bamboo shoot is a traditional delicacy in China, which has a long history of eating and cultivation. There are some poems in the Book of Songs, such as "adding beans, bamboo shoots and fish" and "What does it sound like, only bamboo shoots are popular", which shows that people have been eating bamboo shoots for 2500 to 3000 years.
Bamboo shoots usually germinate in April of the lunar calendar, because the spring is bright, warm and humid and sunny, which is extremely suitable for the growth of bamboo shoots. That's right. Because the altitude, temperature, humidity and light of bamboo shoots on the mountain are different, the germination time is different, but it will not be very big.
In May, in the depths of Dabie Mountain in Jinzhai, western Anhui, the grass grows and the wild bamboo shoots on the mountain begin to sprout again.
Wild bamboo shoots are different from domestic bamboo shoots. Wild bamboo shoots are smaller, but they are purer green, crisper and more delicious.
