Is bamboo shoot toxic?
I only know that bamboo shoots are rich in dietary fiber, and when eating bamboo shoots, I must fry or boil them, I will not eat bamboo shoots raw. As a cook, I recommend that you try not to eat raw food. Whether bamboo shoots are poisonous, you can check Wikipedia, I believe there will be an answer.
How do you get the bitter taste out of bamboo shoots? I cook with green peppers and bamboo shoots because the peppers reduce the bitterness in the bamboo shoots. At the same time, I added various seasonings such as sugar and tempeh to help remove the bitterness of the bamboo shoots. Before cooking with bamboo shoots, I boil them in hot water for 10 minutes, and then soak them in salt water for 20 minutes, which has the effect of removing bitterness and making them more crisp.
Bamboo shoots refer to the tender shoots of bamboo that have just grown from the soil, and their components do not contain toxic substances, so they usually do not cause poisoning and can be consumed normally. Bamboo shoots are rich in plant protein and dietary fiber, carotenoids, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin E, as well as minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron.
The dietary fiber contained in bamboo shoots can also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, which helps prevent and relieve constipation. Moreover, bamboo shoots have low calorie and fat content, and moderate consumption is usually less likely to lead to obesity and hyperlipidemia. Pay attention to balanced nutrition in daily life. Bamboo shoots can be eaten together with lean meat, eggs and other foods to ensure the intake of various nutrients.
In addition, patients with oxalate stones in the urinary system should not eat bamboo shoots frequently because bamboo shoots contain oxalate, which can easily combine with calcium in other foods to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which can worsen the condition. When consuming bamboo shoots, it is also not advisable to eat too much high calcium foods such as milk and tofu.
