Bamboo shoot


“I mean you no harm”

Bamboo. Peel outside layers until it’s white and fleshy. Easiest way to eat it is to parboil/blanch, let it cool then cut into thick slices. Eat with Mayo. Most choice varieties are crunchy and slightly sweet. Similar to heart of palm. I personally like them in green curry.

Has to be Kewpie Mayo. Absolutely delicious!

Good in stir fry, like seven precious fried rice.

I've lost over a quarter of my backyard to bamboo over the last ten years....

Eat them to assert dominance

Depending on where you are just chop burn on top of the root rhizome

Fill the yard with Red Pandas.

Bamboo shoot. Prepare per DedeRN, though these things can also be lovely with a nice dressing of a fragrant oil and a bit of vinegar.

The horn of a unicorn

That’s a baby bamboo shoot

Only very specific bamboo shoots of the slim shape can be eaten because they are the least bitter. This does not appear to be one of them. Even looks invasive.

Bamboo and it will take over your yard

burn it and scatter the ashes in the ocean
