Braised pork ribs with winter bamboo shoots
Winter bamboo shoots are bamboo shoots developed from the lateral buds of the underground stem (bamboo whip) of bamboo (bamboo) before and after the beginning of autumn. Because they were not unearthed yet, the bamboo shoots are young and tender and are a dish that people like to eat very much. Winter bamboo shoots are a delicious food rich in nutritional value and medicinal functions. They are tender and fresh, crisp and refreshing. They contain protein, a variety of amino acids, vitamins, as well as trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron, and rich cellulose. They can promote intestinal peristalsis, which not only helps digestion, but also prevents constipation and colon cancer. Winter bamboo shoots are a high-protein, low-starch food that has certain therapeutic effects on patients with obesity, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and arteriosclerosis. The polysaccharide it contains also has certain anti-cancer effects. Winter bamboo shoots contain more calcium oxalate, so people suffering from urinary stones and nephritis should not eat more.

    Because winter bamboo shoots contain oxalic acid, which can easily be combined with calcium to form calcium oxalate, be sure to boil it in light salt water for 5-10 minutes before eating to remove most of the oxalic acid and astringent taste.
