What is this food?
Bamboo shoot (cnd) — a low-calorie vegetable made from young bamboo shoots, usually cooked or canned. Per 100g, it has about 18 kcal and comes with a good amount of fiber.
Why it matters to health
Bamboo shoot is helpful for everyday meals because it’s light in calories and rich in fiber (about 1.1g per 100g). Fiber supports better digestion and helps you feel satisfied, which can make it easier to balance your 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day. It also has very low fat and no cholesterol.
For health, keep an eye on sodium (about 6mg per 100g in this data). If your bamboo shoot is canned and salty, rinsing it well can help lower the sodium while keeping the fiber.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a side vegetable or add to ulam/soup to increase fiber without adding many calories.
- If it’s canned, rinse and drain before cooking to reduce extra salt.
- Pair it with a balanced plate: add a palm-sized portion of protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and a serving of rice or root crops for energy.
- For snacks, you can include bamboo shoot in light meals (e.g., veggie soup) instead of heavy, salty snacks.
