How to preserve winter bamboo shoots without spoiling

Storage method of simmering over a stove fire: dig up winter bamboo shoots, bury them in their shells and simmer over a fire (knead the bamboo shoots with your hands until they are soft but not hard). After simmering, take it out and place it vertically in a cool and humid place. When eating, remove the outer shell, cut into thin slices, and rinse with water to remove the bitter taste. Using this method to preserve winter bamboo shoots can keep them fresh for 35-45 days.

Steaming method: Remove the shells of the selected winter bamboo shoots and wash them, then cut the large winter bamboo shoots in half, put them on a steaming rack or a pot of water and cook until they are 5 mature, take them out and spread them on the bamboo shoots. The basket is ventilated and can be kept fresh for 10-15 days. This method is suitable for damaged winter bamboo shoots or winter bamboo shoots that are edible within a short period of time.

Cultivation Techniques

Weeding and Loosening

Weeds tend to breed in newly built bamboo forests before the canopy is closed, so weeding and loosening are required twice a year. The first time is done after the branches and leaves of Hsinchu have unfolded and before the rainy season. The grass to be eradicated at this time is tender and easy to rot and die. Too early is bad for Hsinchu, too late can easily damage the whip; the second time is in August, when most of the weed seeds are immature and will not spread after the grass is removed. After the bamboo forest is closed, weeding should be done once a year between July and August. Loose soil near Hsinchu should be 33 cm away from the plant to avoid damaging the roots of Hsinchu. The loose soil should be deeper to thicken the cultivated soil layer, which is beneficial to the development of whips and roots, can store more rainwater, and reduce drought damage. When loosening the soil, we found dark brown old whips and bamboo stems left after felling, as well as tree stumps, stones, etc. We dug them out so that the bamboo whips and roots could spread smoothly.

Buried whips and spread soil

Winter bamboo shoots

Because most of the new whips are distributed in the soil layer above the old whips, if left to their own devices, the soil where the bamboo whips are located will The layer becomes shallower year by year, so that the scope of the whip roots to absorb soil nutrients and water is reduced, affecting the growth of the whip and the entire plant. Therefore, when loosening the soil, it is necessary to dig out old whips and shallow whips to induce new whips to develop into the deeper layers of the soil. It is also necessary to spread soil to thicken the cultivated soil layer. If a thick whip is found extending to the shallow soil layer or exposed to the soil surface, immediately remove it. Dig a trench more than 30 centimeters deep, bury it, and apply fertilizer in the trench. In the bamboo forest that forms the terraces, a layer of soil is cut off the ladder walls every year and spread on the lower terraces. In gently sloping land where terraces are not built, soil moves downhill with rainwater, so when spreading soil, soil must be taken from the downhill slope and carried uphill.
