When visiting the North-Eastern region of India, particularly Meghalaya, and Nagaland, you are almost certain to stumble across an incredibly popular component, bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots not only add taste and texture to practically any meal, but they are also quite nutritional, including a considerable amount of fibre, potassium, manganese, and antioxidants in each serving. Minister of Earth Sciences Kiren Rijiju highlighted the advantages of bamboo shoots on his Twitter timeline. The minister is seen in the 42-second video pulling off some bamboo shoots sent all the way from Arunachal Pradesh for his own usage.
He captioned the video: "Fresh Bamboo shoots sent all the way from Arunachal Pradesh. Very healthy and precious so I am preparing myself. All the visitors who come to Arunachal Pradesh may please try some Bamboo shoot dishes".

Bamboo shoots are used to cook a variety of dishes, including chicken and pork, as well as rice. They add a distinct flavour to the dishes, making the dining experience more enjoyable. To treat the taste buds, this seasonal ingredient is boiled, fermented, pickled, and sometimes curried with other ingredients. Furthermore, bamboo shoots have multiple health benefits, including weight loss and skin health.
Bamboo shoots are essential for losing belly fat because they are low in calories but high in fibre. They can also keep you fuller for longer periods of time, eliminating the possibility of binge eating. They are high in potassium, calcium, and phosphorus, all of which are necessary for strong bones.
