What's this plant

What is this vegetable in my CSA (NC, USA)?


I thought it might be sugarcane at first, but I don’t think sugarcane is hollow?

    I’ve lost over a quarter of my backyard to bamboo over the last ten years….

  3. Bamboo. Peel outside layers until it’s white and fleshy. Easiest way to eat it is to parboil/blanch, let it cool then cut into thick slices. Eat with Mayo.

    Most choice varieties are crunchy and slightly sweet. Similar to heart of palm.

    I personally like them in green curry.

    Bamboo shoot. Prepare per DedeRN, though these things can also be lovely with a nice dressing of a fragrant oil and a bit of vinegar.
