Bamboo shoots are the young shoots of the bamboo plant, eaten as a vegetable. The figures here describe canned bamboo shoots after draining. They consist mainly of water and provide small amounts of protein and carbohydrate, along with minerals including potassium. Per 100g, they contain 1.5g of protein, 0.7g of carbohydrate, 530mg of potassium and 0.2g of fat.
Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The supplied figures show low amounts of salt, sugars and saturated fat. Salt content can vary between canned products depending on the liquid used, so product labels may differ from these values. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (Analysis and literature sources). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Vegetables, Herbs and Spices Supplement, 1991.
