Bamboo shoots, also known as bamboo sprouts, are the edible shoots of the bamboo plant. Bamboo shoots are not edible raw: they must undergo an intensive cleaning and cooking process to be made safe for consumption. Takenoko mizuni bamboo shoots are fully cleaned, slowly simmered in water, and ready for use. Cut this bamboo as desired and add it to your favorite dishes such as stir-fries, soups, and braises.
These are large size bamboo shoots. Each piece weighs about 12.5 ounces.
