hallo,

i love my chinese bamboo shoots and water chesnuts.

can i grow edible ones in a hot climate - hot summers, cold winters and i have lots of water nearby.

sofar i am told that bamboo cant be eaten crunchy raw as it has cyanide but has to be cooked for 20 mins to make it edible. have also been advised that typha minima is the one to grow for its edible corms.

does anyone know if this is correct?

thanks
