La Choy Sliced Bamboo Shoots, 8 oz Can

These cans arrived on time and well-packaged. When you get right down to it, bamboo shoots are plain old wood, but boy do they add to a dish. We use them with teriyaki bowls, sweet and sour soup, and even salads. There's a slight flavor that does add to a dish's taste. If you know Chinese food, you'll recognize it. Very nice complement to many different dishes. Not cheap, but very good.

I make a lot of stir-fries, and I love having water chestnuts and bamboo shoots that are always in the pantry.These are excellent quality.While the label says one can equals one portion, I would say one can equals three portions. There is almost no sodium, no cholesterol, 2 grams of protein and 3 g of fiber.They add texture, crunch and gustatory interest to my dinner.

Nice and crisp whether chilled or stir fried. Intact, unlike some brands where you get bits and pieces.

This was a good amount of bamboo shoots for me to make red curry for 4. The price is also very good. I would recommend cooking them a little longer if you like them to be soft but is a great product for my needs.

I keep this on hand for nights when I want to do a quick stir fry but haven’t been to the store for a lot of supplies. Mild taste, but takes on the flavors of the rest of the meal. Not slimy at all, quality is good, and the size is perfect for when I do a quick meal for 4. I just drain and dump the whole can in for some variety. Has a little crunch.

Good quality

Not much flavor but they add texture and I like them when I make my homemade Pho. There are better bamboo shoots out there, but these will do in a pinch.

The cans were not packaged well, thus there were received bent. This is the same complaints that were written by other reviewers but I took a chance because of the excellent price point. The cans are bent but the shoots were excellent tasting and crispy.
