Not only giant pandas loves bamboo, Chinese people love bamboo as well. Bamboo shoots have always been a popular ingredient in many Chinese dishes. Winter shoots are harvested just before spring time. They are smaller in size compared to the spring shoots. Their flesh is tender and more palatable, making the winter shoots commercially more valuable.
