How to make fermented bamboo shoot
NE being highest rainfall area of the world, does not provide a congenial environment for simple sun drying to preserve excess food resources for the lean period, So smoking and fermentation naturally evolved due to this compulsion.
In this video, I am going to show you how we process bambooshoot for preservation. Bamboo shoot contains 88.8% water,has about 10 mineral elements has more than 3.9% protein and amino acids, which is much higher than vegetables suchs as cabbage, carrot, onion and pumpkins. There are 8 amino acids that can not be synthesized in human body and have to be supplied from food items and almost all of the 8 are available in the bamboo shoots.
But there's a problem to this wonderful and nutritious vegetable, bamboo shoot has about 0.8 to 0.3 % cyanide or cyanide based compounds in them, and approximately 50 - 60 mg of free cyanide is considered a lethal dose for an adult human.
Indigenous knowedge system that people possess about wild edible plants helps handle the cynogenic toxicity in raw shoot while keeping nutrient intact and enhance the shelf life of the product.
Traditionally there are many ways of processing bamboo shoot such as roasting, blanching, canning and pickling but today we will use fermentation to process our bamboo shoots.
Fermentation involves the breakdown of proteins and chemical compounds in the raw product to simpler substances which are stable at the normal temperature of storage and substantially increases biological properties, enhances flavor, increases digestibility and enhancement of nutrition by increasing the level of proteins, vitamins, essential amino acids, fatty acids and other nutritional constituents.

Can u mention what type of edible bamboo shoot species you use for fermentation like all bamboo shoots are not edible right
Is there need to add water in the fermentation process?
Can we boil the shoots prior to fermentation?
👍 👌 ♥ 🍲.. Fermentation process of pickling & Smoking edibles is also very common in Hamburg Germany.. Including the Scandinavian country's.. Particularly fish, vegetables, fruits & also meat. Of course Cheese 🧀, Beer & wine 🍷 is also a part of it. Actually there are many different species of Bamboo. I value North East Indian culture & all the other tribal communities in India.. They treasure knowledge.. Which is way beyond the so called English speaking literate lot roaming around at the shopping 🛒 malls. While toting their smartphone 📱 without any valid clue about their ancestral know how at large.. 😂 Least one shouldn't forget that we all hale from food 🍲 gathering tribal communities.. Ever Since I got my DNA test conducted more avenues has opened up related to my ancestry. Your video 📹 is informative indeed.

Do you always ferment the bamboo shoot before you dry it? If so how long do you ferment it and what genus of bamboo do you find to have the best taste?

Yes, it is always fermented before drying. It develops the sour taste.
What color should bamboo shoot powder be? I purchased bamboo powder and the color is green. Is that normal?

No it is not. Where did you purchase it from? Bamboo shoot is creamy white in colour when fresh. If fermented it is dirty white in colour and if dried brown in colour.

@@EatYourKappa Thank you for responding. I purchased the powder form from Amazon. The brand name is "Micro Ingredients". Based on the reviews... the powder used to be white, but they changed manufacturer and now it's green. This was my first time purchasing Bamboo. Can you please recommend a good powder brand to me?
Can we use glass jar?
