Bamboo shoots are a type of edible young shoot that emerge from the ground from the bamboo plant. They have a mild, slightly sweet and nutty flavor that is similar to asparagus or artichokes.

Fresh bamboo shoots can be boiled or stir-fried before adding them to dishes. When preparing fresh bamboo shoots, it is important to remove the tough outer layers and slice them thinly. With their unique texture and flavor, bamboo shoots can add an interesting twist to any dish and are a versatile ingredient to have in the kitchen.
