I love them. You can eat them raw but just note that if you harvest in the fall or early winters, they will give you gas. The later in the winter you harvest them, the less gas. Some people call them fartichokes. LOL
But seriously, they are great in soups and sliced into salads. You can do anything that you would do with potatoes.
Wow that sounds awesome! I think I have another idea for the garden now! If I get my bamboo sprouted like I want (Moso Bamboo, grows 70+ feet and 7" around, timber grade) in about a month would you consider a trade? I live in the Southern MO Ozarks!
Great! I am going to start trying to sprout them this weekend, but it may take time. Bamboo is tricky to sprout from what Ive read, but once it does youre good to go. I have 4 types Im going to try. Iron Bamboo, Black Bamboo, Purple Timor, and Moso. All of them have 1000s of potential uses. I am offering the Moso because, according to my research, is the most populus of bamboo used in China, and we are also on the same Latitude as the main region of this bamboo's key environment in China. Their young shoots are also edible and very nutritious. In optimal conditions, it can grow 12-14 INCHES a day!
