#Sweet bamboo shoots

There are three main criteria for choosing sweet bamboo shoots. One, the outer skin should be yellow and not green. Two, the fibres of the bamboo shoots should be tender. Three, the butt end of the bamboo shoots should be large enough. Sweet bamboo shoots grow fast, especially when it rains. A bud that just emerged today may be 6 or 7 cm tall the next day. A feature of the bamboo shoot is that once they break through the soil and come into contact with air, they quickly turn green and fibrous, as they start to turn into bamboo. Therefore, bamboo shoot farmers must inspect the bamboo garden every day. If they find new shoots, they should cover them with topsoil and mark them, so that they can grow steadily within the wet mud, and can be harvested after a day or two.
