　　Bamboo shoots are a purely natural health food, but square bamboo shoots are the king of shoots, a unique wonder in the world and found only in China. Black Mountain square bamboo mainly grows in the Wansheng Black Mountain Scenic Area. It has a square shape with distinct edges and corners. Its shoots do not sprout in spring but flourish in autumn, making them a rare product nurtured by the essence of nature. Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty wrote in his "Compendium of Materia Medica," "Square and thick bamboo shoots are hard and crisp. Those who exclusively consume these shoots regularly can enjoy the benefit of longevity." Modern green food research departments have tested and found that square bamboo shoots contain 12% protein, 0.4% fat, 8% crude fiber, as well as abundant amino acids, calcium, iron, selenium, zinc, and various other trace elements, along with vitamins B1, B2, and C. Consuming them aids in intestinal peristalsis and digestion, offering special effects such as weight loss, skin beautification, and prevention of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, square bamboo shoots are tender, thick-fleshed, delicious, and colorful, growing in pollution-free mountain areas. They are truly a gourmet delicacy among mountain treasures, once tribute items in ancient times and now a celebrated cuisine, renowned worldwide.
