Sweet Winter Bamboo Shoots

　　Sweet Winter Bamboo Shoots

     These are a type of sweet bamboo shoot, harvested around the turn of winter and spring—hence the name. With crisp, tender flesh and a naturally sweet flavor, they appear right around the Lunar New Year, making them highly prized as a mountain delicacy. Some even give them as gifts to family and friends. Sweet Winter Bamboo Shoots are very particular about their growing environment—only the wild sweet bamboo in Namo Slope, Nazhi Township, can produce this type of shoot in winter. The total growing area spans over 100 acres, with an annual yield of more than 50,000 kilograms.
