【Description】
Ma-Bamboo is a subtropical plant,
and grows widely in warm areas with little frost
in Fujian and Canton Provinces, and Taiwan. It
grows fast and can live up to 40-50 years, which
makes it a highly productive vegetable. It harvest
peak is between May and mid-September. The major
production areas are Dungshan and Mingjheng
Villages of Beituen Chiu, where the land area for
growing Ma-bamboo is some 900 hectares. In early
spring, farmers cover it with plastic cloth to
create a warm environment to it to increase
production. It is a healthy food full of fiber.
Hence its side products, as opposed to raw roots,
are various, including dried bamboo, preserved
bamboo, and canned bamboo.
