RE: First time eating fresh bamboo shoots from our forest 🌱

in HiveGarden5 months ago

In all honesty, my bamboo tasted toxic or at least so extremely bitter that I had to spit it out, even after an hour and a half of cooking it and after marinating it. It almost made me throw up and I had to burp for a while, so I decided to not risk it after maybe having swallowed two of the tiniest pieces that I had added to my dinner.

Unfortunate but perhaps I am not blessed with the right type of bamboo here.

Ah! Am sorry to hear this and quite surprised. Had no idea there were inedible varieties.

Well, we live and learn! Thank you for reporting back with the info 🙏

I shared a bit more info on my bamboo eating in the comment section to this post: https://peakd.com/hive-151327/@ewkaw/fungifriday-dont-get-fooled#@vincentnijman/re-ewkaw-2024619t153457533z

Thanks Vincent. I think you did the right thing listening to your body and not eating it. Guess we were just lucky with ours as the taste really was so good.

You guys are lucky indeed and I - in turn - am lucky with a lot of things around me, these days.
