Pregnancy guidance

Avoid

Raw bamboo shoots should be strictly avoided during pregnancy. Fresh unboiled bamboo shoots naturally contain cyanogenic glycosides that degrade into toxic hydrogen cyanide in the human body. FDA and CDC guidelines mandate that bamboo shoots must be peeled and boiled vigorously for at least twenty minutes to eliminate cyanogenic toxins. Choose pre-cooked or commercially canned bamboo shoots to enjoy this vegetable without chemical hazards.
