BAMBOO SHOOTS or SPROUTS are edible, they are new bamboo culms that come out from the ground.

They have a mild flavor and crunchy texture and are widely used to bulk out Asian stir-fries, soups and other dishes.

Raw bamboo shoots contain taxiphyllin, a type of cyanide. They are very unlikely to kill you, but they could make you uncomfortable. So, people should not eat fresh bamboo shoots without cooking them first. However, they are completely safe when boiled.
