Cone-shaped and light-colored, bamboo shoots are usually sold canned or dried in Chinese or oriental provision stores and supermarkets. Once opened, shoots can be stored for up to two weeks if they are transferred to a tightly sealed container, immersed in water, and kept in the refrigerator immediately. Otherwise, they will become tasteless and limp. Change the water daily. Canned bamboo shoots can be eaten as they are, or readily be used in Chinese cooking. Fresh shoots are sometimes available in Asian markets, however they must be parboiled or they will be toxic. To prepare raw bamboo shoots, cut them into sticks, cubes, or slices and cook them in lightly salted water for thirty minutes or until tender; then prepare them according to the recipe directions. Fresh bamboo shoots will last for several days in the refrigerator.
