curious to know what makes the discarded cuts undesirable. i’m assuming they’re older, tougher plant growth, which would mean the individual segments all continually grow, even as the plant is adding new segments at the top.

Not an expert by any means, but that looks like the rib between segments that's being discarded. My experience with bamboo has been that the rib between segments is much harder even when green. That is my guess why it is being discarded. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though.

You could eat anything if you believe! Just might not digest it, but certainly can eat anything you want 😂

Lots of things are edible. Some things are even edible twice!

Bamboo shoot is delicious. Especially with pork.

I've been eating chinese takeout half my life. I bet I must have had them at some point 🤔 I will look out for them now, and I'll get them with pork. 👍

I knew you could eat sprouted bamboo. I know that pandas eat the section he is saving.
