bamboo shoots
Young culinary stalks
Bamboo shoots are the young, tender sprouts of bamboo plants, harvested before they mature and harden.
Common in East Asian cuisines, they have a mild flavor and crisp texture: stir-fried bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots in curry.
Fresh shoots require cooking to remove bitter compounds; canned versions come ready to use.
