It is spring now, and at this time, many plants are growing. The most obvious type of plant is bamboo shoots, especially after a spring rain, which are everywhere. But many people often cannot distinguish between spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots. What is the difference between the two? Let's take a look.
What is the difference between spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots
1. Growing season
When we look at the names of the two, we find a characteristic: one is winter bamboo shoots, and the other is spring bamboo shoots, indicating that the growing seasons between the two are different. Winter bamboo shoots are picked before the beginning of spring, and in winter, they are hidden in the soil. "And spring shoots, once spring begins, they will emerge one after another, so the difference between them has a great relationship with the picking season.".
2. Harvesting and listing time
"When we pick winter bamboo shoots, we usually pick them from early December to the end of February. At this time, the bamboo shoots for sale are winter bamboo shoots, while spring bamboo shoots are picked from early March to the end of April.". At this time, bamboo shoots are also known as spring shoots. There are also summer bamboo shoots, which are picked between June and October.
3. The color of bamboo shoot clothing
Winter bamboo shoots are buried in the soil and cannot be exposed to sunlight, so their coat color is yellow. The spring bamboo shoots have already emerged from the soil and received the sunlight, so the color of their bamboo shoots is brown and yellow. The bamboo shoot tip is dark brown. When its bamboo shoot coat peels off, the bamboo shoot itself is also brown.
4. Whether the skin and meat are firm and wrapped
The bamboo shoot clothing and meat of winter bamboo shoots are tightly wrapped together, and the handle is relatively tight. However, the bamboo shoots' clothing and meat are not tightly wrapped together, and can be detected by touching them with your hand.
5. Size of head
The sizes between them are also different, and can be directly distinguished by the naked eye. Winter bamboo shoots are relatively small, while spring bamboo shoots are relatively fat.
6. Bamboo shoot hair
"The surface of spring bamboo shoots has some soft fur, and there are also some black stripes on their clothing. Overall, the color is not very bright, with some turning black.". The appearance of winter bamboo shoots is golden, without stripes.
7. Taste and taste
Due to seasonal differences, their taste is also different. Spring bamboo shoots are relatively sweet, while winter bamboo shoots are more delicate.
8. Picking
The picking process of spring bamboo shoots should be simpler than that of winter bamboo shoots, as winter bamboo shoots are buried in the soil and require tools to excavate in order to harvest successfully.
9. Price
"Because winter bamboo shoots are difficult to pick, and the meat quality of winter bamboo shoots is relatively tender, the price is relatively high. Therefore, when purchasing, we must pay attention to differences, and do not mistake spring bamboo shoots for winter bamboo shoots.".
