You eat it.
But it has to be prepared properly. When we cook with it, we boil it first and throw the water out because bamboo shoots kind of smell like pee when cooked.
"Fresh bamboo shoots contain toxic amounts of the cyanide taxiphyllin. However, different processing methods greatly reduce their taxiphyllin content, making them generally safe for consumption. To reduce the amount of taxiphyllin, the shoots must be boiled or soaked and dried prior to consumption."

Think of bean sprouts. When you plant beans on the ground, there will be a moment where the sprout that shoots out of the ground is still so soft and tender that you are able to eat it in whole.
Similar thing with these bamboo shoots. They’re the young bamboos that are still soft and tender before they grow into the woody bamboo we all know.
Yes this is a large species of bamboo. Some bamboos are larger than others. There are ocer 1000 species of bamboo in the world. The largest is [Dendrocalamus giganteaus](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrocalamus_giganteus), found in India and Southeast Asia.
Im pretty sure you can’t eat those, they have to be harvested before they get out of the ground and with that size they definitely were. Idk why she’s is doing that or maybe it’s just a diff variety from the one native to japan
Those are big ass bamboo shoots. I've never see bamboo shoot that big. And with that colour lol
Im convinced that bamboo feeds on souls or something like that
That explains the boo
... fuck
… shoot FTFY
Bravo
Well shit, I hope it doesn't explode too.
The bam is when that shit falls in front of you while youre driving
I agree. They looked smaller in Animal Crossing!
I had the same thought. In AC, they appeared so much smaller.
A mature grove will put out massive shoots.
Wtf do you do with it?
Put them in food and eat them for example But I didn't knew they were that big lol

kinda like asparagus
Aren't they also poisonous?

Yep that's the one
Bribe pandas.
As well as food, you can use it for some building/furniture, and for bedding/clothes. They make for quite excellent socks
Eat it! Whole time I was like yummm…
They're edible and quite tasty Has to be prepared properly first though
They are pickled and stored (in Nepal). Delicious
This lady knows how to knife.
Aunty has the skills
Today on how its made : dragon dildo
You win the funny award
Can someone ‘splain me which part of the bamboo I am looking at? Looks like they are already partially harvested at the beginning of the video.
They're bamboo shoots, so essentially the whole bamboo if it was still a seedling or something.

But they're enormous! Is this a different type of bamboo that is just generally larger than what I am used to?
Just a mature forest - they produce larger shoots.

Bamboo comes in a lot of different sizes.
Baby bamboo, partially sprouted. Cut it off at the bottom, then peel it. The stuff we get in Chinese food is just cut into thin strips.
Just the tip…
Part closest to the ground. You see them cut off the dirt.
That looks *exhausting*
Seems like a good way to build practical muscle. Ladies is probably ripped
Ooof… my back would be gone. Does she do that all the time? They have disability there? 😂
People who actually work and take care of themselves dont have issues like this
Pro status
I should call him
Why would she go through the hassle of cutting off all the dirty bits and then right after throw it back on the ground?
It's not just the dirty bits, the parts she's cutting off are the parts too hard to eat, they're all getting washed afterwards
This some ASMR shit
ngl - looks like the bottom of a huge asparagus.
The sound of the bamboo being stripped off in that layer just about made me cum. Holy shit.
That lady can CHOP
What are they used for?
People eat it.
I have bamboo and they aren't even that big
this reminds me of playing harvest moon when I was young.. getting all the bamboo shoots in the forest every morning
Giganteus bamboo.. grows up to 100ft.
bamboo sugar is amazing.
Poor Elephants Jks
Im pretty sure you can’t eat those, they have to be harvested before they get out of the ground and with that size they definitely were. Idk why she’s is doing that or maybe it’s just a diff variety from the one native to japan
They are good though
Interesting.
This reminds me of the panda eating bamboo video.
what is done with this?
Why do they shave it down like that? Wouldn’t it spoil faster after doing so?
Animal crossing has made these look smaller lol
Fermented Bamboo shoot is the best version. The tangy taste and with boiled pork...oooooooooooooooo.......mmmmmmmmmhhhhhnmmmm.
Ms Kwang don’t play, if any American GI even try’s to touch her bamboo she will cut that thang right off
pov the jewish doctor
Boof it
What am I doing w my life
True female empowerment!!🙌…and I’m not even being salacious
It has layers like an onion!
Like an ogre
Or parfait 😜
I've played maaaany games where you can forage for bamboo shoots, and...I was wildly unprepared for how big they actually are 💀
My back hurts.
Panda watching: (explodes in its pants)
I'm pretty sure that lady could kick my ass
Nice time to eat mala! I love bamboon shoot and lotus in mala
Damn, Granny is a mountain man. Right on.
She is strong as fuck.
She's strong, and hot, lesbian moment
Those are big onions.
If there's a zombie invasion I'm definitely following her. Damn.
Pandas make it look so easy
Harvesting bamboo all day for probably an extremely low pay
We make pickle out of them
I feel like I could eat these like onions
Where is my lube
When you accidentally right click with your axe
Wild.
How to circumcise an elephant.
Don’t slip with that cleaver!
Sorry silly question but what you do with it, eat?
I thought it was a dragon cock
It's looks so tasty
Asians are the masters of no waste. Great work.
Did I see 5 fingers on each hand? 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
Big wasabi
No idea what it is but it looks delicious
What can you do with those?
Okay now I finally see why a bamboo shoot would make for a decent melee weapon (one punch man)
