Makes me miss my tropical home. We used to have this growing up, stir fried with fried fish and coconut milk!

I like the thought of keeping native woods around. Good idea! (:

You have to boil bamboo for about 30 minutes to deactivate the poison in it. My friends pour off the boil water and then stir fry/saute with Nepali dahl(bean curry) spices. It is divine. They don't throw that top part away. They use everything that is tender. Every year we scavenge shoots from renegade bamboo around town (in NC).

You are so lucky you get to eat fresh bamboo shoot. Bamboo shoot can be cook in many different way and it make great soup.

So crazy that people that choose to live in such a delicate and off grid area decide to wipe out indiscriminately the growth on new property. Doesn't make sense to me at all, so glad you have the mindset to preserve native life

That's fantastic information, there are some huge stands of bamboo near where I live!

I’ve been wondering if I could add bamboo to my recipes. My neighbor has bamboo planted along the fence and new growth pops up in my yard. I’ve been breaking them off and feeding to the squirrels. They love it. We’re in Alabama so I wasn’t sure if our location or only certain types of bamboo were edible like mushrooms. Thanks for sharing your video.

I didn’t know you can eat bamboo, hi from the uk

[lantenikbook]

Thank you very much! You make very useful content. I'm watching you from Russia. Bamboo grows here and even survives frosts of -35 Celsius or -31 Fahrenheit.

Is the stocks of the full grown edible or just the shoots

[PuananiKane]

Wish I could plant Ohia on my property, , I’m on mainland 🥰🤙🏽

[IAMGiftbearer]

I looked for bamboo shoots when I was collecting poles from the woods the other day and there weren't any. Do they only pop up at a certain time of year?

[sunshinejenny]

Yes for SURE!! Keep the trees. It is sad when they clearcut.

[NicaUmeda]

Can you eat any species of bamboo? Are any of them poisonous? Which are the tastiest?

[carmelitaalvidrez]

Hi, I enjoy learning about bamboo. Have a question about the roots of bamboo, do they go everywhere and sprout out where you don’t want them. I farm but I have a problem with ground erosion. Thinking about planting along edge to prevent continued erosion. But don’t want to worry about finding shouts sprouting out in the land I farm. Please give me your info. Thank you.

You should soak! High levels cyanide in new shoots, you can filter it out with a 24-48 cold water soak
