How to dig bamboo shoots

(1) Spring bamboo shoots usually grow around the adult bamboo, especially the healthy bamboo with luxuriant green branches and leaves. Each bamboo has a bamboo whip, and the bamboo whip is basically parallel to the bamboo branch in the bottom wall, and the shoots basically grow on the bamboo whip, so we should pay attention to whether there are spring shoots in the direction of the bamboo whip.

(2) The most fresh and tender spring shoots are those that have not been raised or that have just raised their heads. They are about two to three centimeters out of the ground. If the unearthed shoots have expired, they will be old and hard and not suitable for eating. So it's not easy to find bamboo shoots. When digging bamboo shoots, pay attention to the soil. When the soil is soft and slightly uplifted, it is likely that there are new shoots under it.

2. What kind of bamboo shoots to dig
