Hello, Do you like plants?
I like green plants.
Green plants are great, especailly my snake bamboo plant.
Bamboo plants are some of the fastest-growing in the world.
I know right? Isn't it also amazing how bamboo plants can be used for medicine, building materials and more.
Bamboos can last up to 40 or even 80 years, which sounds like quite a long time.
Wow that is a long time. Did you know in China for example they use black bamboo shoots to help treat kidney diseases?
Bamboo shoot
Bamboo shoots or bamboo sprouts are the edible shoots (new bamboo culms that come out of the ground) of many bamboo species including "Bambusa vulgaris" and "Phyllostachys edulis". They are used as vegetables in numerous Asian dishes and broths. They are sold in various processed shapes, and are available in fresh, dried, and canned versions.
Raw bamboo shoots contain cyanogenic glycosides, natural toxins also contained in cassava. The toxins must be destroyed by thorough cooking and for this reason fresh bamboo shoots
Bamboo construction
Bamboo can be utilized as a building material as for scaffolding, bridges and houses. Bamboo, like true wood, is a natural composite material with a high strength-to-weight ratio useful for structures. Bamboo has a higher compressive strength than wood, brick or concrete and a tensile strength that rivals steel.
Bamboos are some of the fastest-growing plants in the world, due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. Certain species of bamboo can grow 35 inches/890 mm within a 24-hour period,
