#Moso Bamboo Shoots
The bamboo shoot we usually eat during wintertime is habitually known as the winter bamboo shoot. Often grows on high altitude mountains, the winter bamboo shoot is the young bamboo shoot of Moso bamboo shoot, the outward appearance of which is rather squat and thick. We can still sample Moso bamboo shoot when it comes to springtime. The Moso bamboo shoot planted by the farm is exactly the spring bamboo shoot whose growing season falls between February and March. At this time the exterior color of the bamboo shoot will turn into jet-black. Cut the bamboo shoot into slices and break the fiber to allow its crunchy texture.
