Nutritional Benefits

"It was in the early Han times (202 BC-AD 220) that the bamboo shoot was discovered as a food. Bamboo is a great food staple and may become an invaluable, healthy food source as the world increases in population and our diminishing land resources force us to limit production of meat products."

"Bamboo is rich in protein and low in calories, which can make it a propitious staple to the diet of modern societies. Bamboo contains the amino acids tyrosine, arginine, histidine, and leusine. Tyrosine is a prime element of the adrenal glands and a precursor of adrenaline, and it facilitates biochemical metabolism in the body. It also contains many minerals and is high in potassium (a heart-healthy mineral which helps maintain normal blood pressure and a steady heart beat). Bamboo is also a good source of B vitamins and carbohydrates."
