Winter bamboo shoots should be good in themselves, but perhaps due to the freezing process, they don't have the crispness and tenderness of fresh ones.
I buy two packs at a time because sometimes they're out of stock. They're delicious.
Excellent! I've bought it several times.
This is my first time buying frozen bamboo shoots (I usually buy canned). Hopefully, I won't be disappointed. (Sharpie Marker used as a scale)
No need to thaw, just put it directly into hot water to cook. It will still taste very crisp and refreshing.
This is my first purchase; I'm going to use it to cook pork belly.
These bamboo shoot tips are great; they don't have any strange taste. They're delicious in soups or stir-fried with shredded bamboo shoots.
I didn't know if it was fresh since it was my first time buying it, but it's great! It's perfect for making soup or stir-frying shredded meat, leaving it soft and crisp. I'll definitely buy it again!
It's great that you can buy these winter bamboo shoots in the US! I can make hot and sour soup now, it's just missing this ingredient.
