The newly emerging, tender juvenile shoots of bamboos that belong to the tribe Bambuseae, subfamily Bambusoideae of family Poaceae, are edible. Their rich content of amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and low fat content attracts many people to consume bamboo shoots. A study was conducted to determine the nutrient changes in emerging juvenile shoots of five commercially important bamboos. It was observed that whereas nutrient components of the shoots depleted in all the five species with ageing, the dietary fibre and moisture content were increased. Vitamins and mineral content also decreased in the older shoots. The present study indicates that the freshly emerging juvenile shoots are nutritionally superior to the older emerged shoots.
属于禾本科竹亚科竹族的竹子新长出的嫩笋是可食用的。它们富含氨基酸、蛋白质、碳水化合物、维生素、矿物质且脂肪含量低，吸引了许多人食用竹笋。开展了一项研究以确定5种具有重要商业价值的竹子新长出的笋的营养成分变化。据观察，尽管所有5个品种的笋的营养成分都会随着老化而减少，但膳食纤维和水分含量会增加。老笋中的维生素和矿物质含量也会下降。本研究表明，新长出的嫩笋在营养方面优于老笋。
