Jian Ning Dried Bamboo Shoots

　　Mengzong Bamboo Shoot Industry Co., Ltd. was established in 1995, located in Jian Ning County, Fujian Province, China, nestled in the Wuyi Mountain Range—the national ecological demonstration county and the source of the thousand-li Min River. Leveraging the region’s abundant bamboo shoot resources, the company specializes in deep-processing dried bamboo shoots, integrating base cultivation, R&D, production, sales, and services. The “Mengzong” series of dried bamboo shoots developed and produced by the company is distinctive and represents an upgraded version of traditional dried bamboo shoots that have been around for hundreds of years. It has rewritten the history of inconsistent quality and great inconvenience in consumption that plagued traditional dried bamboo shoots for centuries. Moreover, the company’s capabilities in R&D, production, and market expansion are among the best in the industry. Adopting a strategy of “placing premium products in premium stores,” the “Mengzong” series of dried bamboo shoots has been promoted to large shopping malls, supermarkets, and retail outlets in cities such as Fujian, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu. “Mengzong Bamboo Shoots” have been hailed as the “No.1 brand of dried bamboo shoots” by partner businesses and customers who have tried them. Within just a few years, the “Mengzong” trademark has successively been awarded the titles of “Well-Known Trademark in Sanming City” and “Famous Trademark in Fujian Province.” In 2001, the “Mengzong” brand’s Golden Thread Bamboo Shoots and Boiled Dried Bamboo Shoots won the Shanghai Famous, Special, and New Products Award. The “Mengzong” series of dried bamboo shoots were also granted the Certificate of Origin Mark Registration by the State Administration for Market Regulation in 2002. These honors are unique among dried bamboo shoot products.

　　The raw materials for “Mengzong Bamboo Shoots” are naturally grown in high-altitude, high-rainfall environments. Bamboo shoots are a natural health food; in addition to containing 18 types of amino acids and various essential trace elements for the human body, their high fiber content promotes gastrointestinal motility and the secretion of digestive glands, reduces the accumulation and absorption of harmful substances in the body, lowers the incidence of toxemia and colon cancer, and when combined with fatty acids, helps prevent cholesterol formation and reduce the occurrence of high blood pressure [1-3]. Therefore, dried bamboo shoot products are green foods of the 21st century and are very popular both domestically and internationally.

　　The Mengzong series of dried bamboo shoots uses special sun-dried white bamboo shoots from the source of the Min River as its raw material. Adhering to the standards of “safety, nutrition, and being pollution-free,” the selection process begins with stringent steps including shaping, grading, removing old parts, removing impurities, washing, shredding, and slicing. It is a healthy food product that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern science. It not only solves the historical issues of inconsistent quality and inconvenience in eating associated with traditional dried bamboo shoots, but also greatly retains the trace elements in the bamboo shoots. This product line adopts composite small packaging, making it easy to transport, store, and sell in retail settings such as supermarkets. Its freshness, tenderness, crispness, juiciness, and overall deliciousness are beyond what traditional roasted dried bamboo shoots can offer. As a result, this product has become a bestseller in Fujian, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and other regions, and is also exported to international markets in Europe and America.

　　Currently, the Mengzong series of dried bamboo shoots includes boiled dried bamboo shoots, golden thread bamboo shoots, phoenix-tail bamboo shoots, Fujian bamboo shoot strips, winter bamboo shoot slices, magnolia slices, spring bamboo shoot slices, and dried bamboo shoot tips, among others. The company can also produce other types of dried bamboo shoot products according to customer requirements.
