Most Asian cooks parboil the shoots before adding them to a recipe. I parboil moso shoots. Many shoots I slice and cook without parboiling.

Taste the shoot before cooking. If it has a burning aftertaste, drop it into boiling water for a few minutes. Take it out and then stir fry it.

Bamboo shoots are a great tasting and conversation starting ingredient. For more information, click on Cooking.

Since my supply of shoots varies, I prefer to box and mail the shoots, and then, bill you for them afterwards. I don’t want you to prepay for shoots that do not shoot!

Fresh bamboo shoots are available March and April. There may be a few in early May and late February. Early Bamboo (P. praecox) shoots in March. Moso begins in early April. Mid-season varieties begin in April and finish in April. Sometimes Japanese timber is available in early May.

I dig bamboo shoots on Mondays and Wednesdays and ship them via USPS Priority Mail the same day. You receive the shoots on Thursdays and Saturdays. I dip the butts in lemon juice to reduce browning of the exposed ends.
