How to Eat Canned Bamboo Shoots
Bamboo shoots are juvenile bamboo plants that are harvested before they are two weeks old. Cooked bamboo shoots are slightly sweet and have a crunchy texture. They are typically used in Asian cuisine as a side dish, or as part of a stir-fry. Fresh bamboo shoots can be safely stored in your refrigerator for up to two weeks, but canned shoots have very long expiration dates. If you do a little bit of research you should be able to find several uses for canned bamboo shoots in your cooking.
