Trees and Plants > Hedge Plants > Bamboo - Edible
The fastest growing plant in the world, bamboo is an excellent and useful landscaping plant. It produces edible shoots and an endless supply of canes that can be used for a multitude of purposes around the garden. To ensure the safe consumption of bamboo shoots, it's important to boil them before use. This process helps to remove the cyanogenic glycosides produced by the plant as a defence against herbivores. It's advisable to boil for at least 20mins and change the water once or twice during boiling to ensure all toxins are eliminated. Bamboos considered edible have a sweet pleasant taste when this is done. Other bamboos considered inedible can be rendered safe to eat after boiling but may be bitter in taste.
