So, what is bamboo-shoots?
Bamboo shoots are a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine, known for their tender texture and delicate flavor. These edible shoots are harvested from the young bamboo plant before it matures into woody stalks.

They are also versatile, able to be pickled, boiled, stir-fried, or added to soups and stews. Their unique taste, a cross between sweet corn and asparagus, pairs well with a wide range of ingredients, making bamboo shoots a popular choice for both traditional and fusion dishes.
